The Price Paid

The Price Paid

Brothers and sisters we have forsaken each other
Bound by the same chains
Only painted in different colors
Beautifully designed
All differences aside
Within each other we all reside
Yet still we let definitions define....
Our worth
Weaved out of the same Earth
Ignoring the after affects
So this perpetual cycle can be blamed on ignorance
Inhale in the fragrance of partial peace
In a nation where freedom isn't really free
Where there is a price on love
Retailed at rude glances filled with disgust
Refusing to see beauty
A society sustained off of inflation
The price paid: life, love, and liberty.
