Realities Fixed Price

Realities of life will not relent                                                 
                                 idealistic hopes cannot compete
                                  
                                 Begrudgingly we pay full recompense
                                 Requisites of life's payments to meet

                                 We seek to bargain price or new contract
                                  the offer is rejected...out of hand
                                  
                                  With nothing to offer life's merchant
                                  realities fixed price, he'll not amend.

Thank you for your comment, FJ Thomas. We all look back to our youth. Even when we regret , consequences still follow.
