Do You Deserve What You Desire?

by Matthias L. - Capricorn

With all the tricks that fate does play
I used to think I know them all
But then I don't look for merely seconds
To see that I am tricked again

As favors are returned
Something without a value
Might buy more than money ever could

And as if to emphasize this fact
The spotlight kid repeats again
That to afford a thing is not the same
As really to deserve it

I don't know if you understand
'Cause I can't anymore
But as words only bear the meaning
That humans give to them
Is there a reason why
I shouldn't do the same
And mimic just a trick of one
That's measuring this thread of mine
