The Catch

The Catch

A Poem by Peter Thomas
"

Wrote it thinking about how we get into these no win situations and we end up taking what we can get even though we know we still lose.

"

This is what I believe

Nothing is for free

Though we wish it, never will it be

It’s sad when we think about it

We all think we see

When really nothings free

 

Its what we make of it that counts

Every minute is precious

For every person there is a fee

Just to live, for this we must pay

Wish it were, wish it may

This wish I wish away

For all it does nothing will it be

So why is it nothings free

 

I can’t pretend to be

Caring about these things

All I do is settle for

Settle for a lesser score

I won’t try and lie to you

Life for me is one big sore

I won’t try and settle for more

All because nothing’s free

Thanks to that catch 22
