SACRIFICES FOR PERKS

CONSEQUENCES TYING OUR HANDS

Certain sacrifices offer certain perks,
but it's hidden is disguises by crafty works,
it leads to consequences we cannot avoid,
trapping us in nets that make us annoyed.

We never know where the paths ahead lead,
so we allow certain things our families to feed,
then come the costs in which we get lost,
it just seems too high so we hang on to our post.

That's our error as we lose control,
fall very far down a darkened hole,
becoming puppets on chains to unknown masters,
in life's terrain where there are no answers.

These privileges we obtain are rarely gain,
they lead to consequences that bring us pain,
box us in to accept what life throws,
instead of reaching out and grabbing what grows.
