For Free

This things aren't free. 
You walk around thinking it belongs to you, 
like it was handed to you, like they are your due. 

These things aren't free. 
You need to earn your pay, 
the food you eat, your rent, 
right up to the very air you breath. 

These things are not free. 
For free will mean offered, 
inherited or handed over. 
For free because another person paid them
or worked to have them for ya. But 

These things are not free
We work, to pay for life
We work to earn the right
To eat, to sleep, to be
Able to live the life we wish, even if

These things are not free
Some have knowledge of these
Some understand the no free lunch theory
And they learn mercy, they learn to give
The rewards of their labour,
to others
for free

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
