A Disposable Life


To change people’s minds on what a human life is worth, is the change I desire for us all.

Life to its core is hope and dreams,

Where there was life, memories will stand.

And as long as there is life, there’s a chance for a better world, full of light.

 

So why must we think,

That a price could be set.

Why must we think,

That a life is worth cents.

Unless you,                  can awaken the dead

DON'T YOU EVER place a price on a head.

 

A life isn’t worth

All the gold in the world.

A life isn’t worth

All the happiness and joy.

A life isn’t worth

All the power in the heavens

Nor the fear in hell.                 No!

A life is worth,             so much more.

 

As long as there is life

There is a chance, and there is hope.

And we have no right!

To put a price,

 On something so true and beautiful

That could never be brought back.

So I hope that we can all see,

Taht there is no such thing as a disposable human life!
