A penny for your thoughts

A penny for your thoughts

In this life we get to do many things like vote, make money, and to love anybody.

Some of us are blessed for the freedoms we have yet heres my penny for that statement

we are indeed blessed but everything has a price , am i wrong?

To vote you have to register and vote for a man or woman to run the country then you have to

deal with the person who wins sounds simple enough until you realize

that  you will be catorgized fora certain party or not for some and the battle 

to hold your ground as attourity shoves down your throat what is right

and what is wrong.

I am sorry young one so innocent wanting to have a voice and iit is thier right

yet like many things that right comes with a price you may vote yet you

may be juged on your values and morals, you may make money yet you 

have to pay for your luxuries and other things so

you will have to fight for every dime you get, you may

love yet your will get judged and harrassed

by some dont like it and will push you to your wits end for loving another.

My fellow person everything comes with a price 

but you can have a penny for your thoughts.

Let's start with the frivolous. Line 7 fora is it for (a)? Line 8 is it Authority? Line 10 iiit is it (it)?

And of cousre as the statement of intent is given that old saying "There are no free rides" came to mind and the reminder that we are human beings which live in society and therefore subject to many oh so many aspects that as you well point out become the "game" were rules are known and we call our rights are not really there to free us out. And surely I agree there if you want to belong and take part you have to create that relationship.

Bu maybe in pointing that out you also have planted a seed of doubts as there might be other aspects of life were a selfless act cannot be quantfied ........ maybe.

Poli- Tricks at is best.

Thankyou

Yes I agree but I just really want people to stop being so blind to everything and realize that even in this country you have to pay for everything you do and don't do .

I thought, that in our current time, this piece appears to be very true. I find it sad but, nobody ever said the truth didn't hurt did they?

[Kamari's]

Very true I think it is nice to let people know

[wordman]

Thank you for the feedback

[Avinash]

This poem is full of wisdom and raises some genuine questions regarding whether the things are serving their purpose. Whether we are just creating thing rather than values which is the ultimate purpose of everything.
We need to ask if their is price for everything then rich are those who are not for sale .
