Beware And Be Warned

hear ye, hear ye

shut up and pay heed

they’ll drain your soul dry

squeeze the turnip till it bleeds

life is but a journey

nothings is as it seems

you can’t believe what you’re seeing

no matter what you read

because life’s just a game

and the world’s its arena

no rules ever the same

you’re gonna need a subpoena

if love was a dinner

then you’re the main course

they will steal your vigor

like a pirate on a porch

amazon offers free delivery

if you pay the right price

but you’ll never buy chivalry

because it’s no longer alive

there are warnings and announcements

all over the place

you simply have to look for it

it’s right in front of your face

take what you need

there is plenty to share

this is a message from me

so that you’ll be prepared
