I’ll make a deal with you
By Grace Polito
I came to show
Not to the ones who know
But to the ones who need
A bit of a deed
Done in their favor
Like I’m their savior
What is it, you may ask
Oh, just a small task
I will help you out
And, no doubt
It will aid you
A lifetime breakthru
My deeds come with a small price
If you misjudge, I’ll roll the dice
And trust me, you young lad
They won’t be your comrade
It is all a package deal
Wrapped up and with a seal
I will spill the contents
And Grace now presents:
Buy one get one deed for free
The insides you may not see
But trust me they will impact
Your living in your dream act
One day will come
Do not run
I know what’s too little
And I know what’s too brittle
A spark will overcome your body
Side effects, your thoughts become shoddy
But when you wake up from your trance
This will be your final chance
Undo the misdoings you have done
Finally you will have won
Just remember what I said
There will be no, “you plead”
That small price
Would be your demise
