I OWE NO ONE

I’ll build castles in the air with bricks
Break banks before I visit the six
I’ll be good or I will leave for crime
Life is short so I’ll pay me in time.
I’ll let ignorance feed on my greed
Lock up my creed within my heart’s core
Drink it till I can no longer pour
Death is certain, the time is not yet

A billion reasons to ask the world
why, I will choose one to remain mute
Bout you, him, her and every letter
That belongs to the alphabet clan

If words can kill one or save others
I wonder why one would rather kill
Nobody owes me, I owe no-one.
