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
