The Price of Freedom

We trade sets of chains for another chain.
Trade one restriction for one restriction.
It is a veiled scheme kept out of the plain.

Its song sounds better on repetition
So we play same chords, just differently,
Dancing our way into its illusion.

Much as we pay, its bank is still empty,
Its debt is one we can never offset
Thus we pay our way into bankruptcy.

Massaging its ego is our best bet,
We must romance it even in our sleep
Like a baby does its favourite pet.

Freedom is always expensive yet cheap
So with Faith and no caution, we must leap.
