what price

what price must we pay
to earn a living?

what price must we pay
to live our lives
in peace?

what price must we pay
to ensure a future?

must we relinquish our health
our sanity
our pride?

must we allow ourselves
to be treated like serfs
to be manhandled
abused?

when did it become
acceptable to make others suffer?

what price must we pay?

and why
in the year of 2010
is there no recourse?
