Time's price

sorenbarrett

 

 

The ultimate medium of trade

Time can not be counterfeited or faked

Alchemy gold from lead made

New years can not be cooked boiled or baked

 

Time saved and stolen

when horded lost

like food in the colon

expelled shit the cost

 

A dollar for a water bottle

the cost of being husband or wife

Fifty an hour as a naked model

gambled rolling the dice of life

 

All prostitutes we sell our time

more sacred than your body

a whore with no crime

coin of time in a wishing pool potty

        Oh I just love this and what a piece of Truth

        New years can not be cooked boiled or baked

        No matter how many pretty coats we put upon time it will forever be moving and changing
