What Is The Price Of Life?

What Is The Price Of Life?
_______________________________________
What is the price of life?
What is the cost of a soul?
Money to be made, no matter what the cost
Pandemic or not to some suits at the top
Workers are but tools in the clog
Replace without thought when a worker is lost
What is the price of life?
What is the cost of a soul?
They toil in hospitals trying to save the person life
These poor souls slowly dying with each grasp of breath, it made be their last.
But nurses and doctors they give it their best
These Angels of people in the medical field battle an unseen foe
They struggle, with little insight, and too few tools for the fight
Their needs are great; they live with a shortage of PPE lacking in sufficient amounts for their needs
The suits say these folks are nuts, there plainly of stuff
But the stuff they are talking about is hidden in warehouses awaiting the right price to be sold
What is the price of life?
What is the cost of a soul?
Forget shelter-in-place no need for a mask
Social distancing is a thing of the past
Go back to work, no matter what the cost
Don’t look for the dead, instead turn your head get back to work
Spend the money and party on beaches till dawn as the death toll mounts
Hell you need to keep count
Don’t give a thought about granny get into a crowd, buy Air Jordan’s before they are gone
Don’t give a damn if she dies, She is old, hell what’s a life
When you got Air Jordan’s to show off to your friends
Small business, big business all got to get theirs
Come on in workers and buyers we’re selling a virus
What is the price of life?
What is the cost of a soul?
The answers to that lie where the power resides
We are pawns in a power game
Warriors to be used life and death won’t be our choice
For the price of a life is power
The cost of a soul is retaining the White house!
