Nothing is owed to you
by basic fact of life
everything has a price
love, time, respect, things

If you want these then you must work,
as they cannot be freely given
at least not forever
You must earn them

Be honest and true to the ones you love
It may require sacrifices on your part
To get respect, you must first show respect
You must sometimes place others above you

You would like to spend precious time
Then act so it behooves one to do so
Material things are.not wild fruit, free to pick,
must give your work, time, love and respect

The piper must always be paid
So be ready for the price
Nothing is free to you
So let it be done
