Commodity


I’m not your commodity

That you can use and abuse

And honestly

You aren’t worth my courtesy

You’re just a wannabe

This isn’t monopoly

Where you’re trying to build your economy

You should’ve used your wealth responsibly

And now you’ve got to take accountability  

I was never your priority

This is a monstrosity 

I ignored all the warnings

I guess your absence has served as a cautionary
