The Rising Cost 2020

People are starving prices are rising people are dying tariffs are mounting children are suffering as predicted life is worth nothing and the expenses keep on mounting Land is eroded the forests are felled while food mountains are built the price in the process of disjunctive it’s the need for the many for greed of the few and the earth is polluted but by who And the price keeps on rising People eat poison in the march of starvation fortifications are built and freedom is sold by the profits of the weapons industry but the cost of liberty is still increasing Vaccines injecting for a havoc in some futures vein only thousands are carefully counting while millions can’t do the same And the prices just keeps on rising Extinction is modern technological mayhem and count the cost of the corpses around the world each day each year each scaremonger fear as the rising cost is the rising price which keeps us all surviving And the prices still keep on rising The price is the story of conspiracy the truth now has an alien identity a million new bibles to tell us all who we should be won’t cost you too much but promises you’ll see And humanity is the enemy And the cost of being alive economically speaking well that that just keeps on rising while the guts and the gush the atrocities and blood are all expedient politically speech-ing And the people are starving while the prices are rising and the people are dying while tariffs are mounting children are suffering as they predicted and life well life well that’s worth nothing And still the price just keeps on rising
