Sacrifice

There are tributes to be paid

For every passage in our journey.

Every footfall on the pathway

Lands on someone’s territory.

 

Willingly we yield to barter,

Giving this to garner that,

Coveting the grander treasure,

Reaching for the greater glory.

 

Mostly it is just a game,

A simple reuse of give and take.

Fire a shot into the air

To see who scrambles and who stays.

 

But when price becomes too dear

Challenges are brought to bear.

Sacrifices must be made

To exit from the jumbled maze.

 

You must ask yourself the questions

When the seller sets his price.

Are you ready?

Are you willing?

Will you make the sacrifice?
