Deal or No Deal

Life can sometimes end up being a bad deal, especially when it comes to sex appeal.

Zeus with all his power and influence,
Cupid shooting his arrows as insurance.
William Shakespeare wrote
Romeo and Juliet,
the two lovers we've all met.
Love being the greatest universal power,
Lemons and limes taste to sour,
red roses with thorns lovely flower.

Deal or no deal,

romantic love has a powerful appeal,
yet many only go for the thrill,
use love to fashion their own sexual selfish zeal.
Walk away with others hearts as the thief steal,
bam, slam thank you mam it was a thrill.
Poor little babies born with no fathers,
mothers raising children alone bothers.

Deal or no deal,

Baby boy birthed of his mother and fathers seed,
out into this world of tremendous need.
Got his first nourishment from his mothers titty,
later on he has to learn how to survive in
the dog eat dog city.
Everyday becomes a dog gone hassle,
baby boy has to fight, struggle and wrestle.
For him its do it right or fumble the ball,
successfully do or surely fall.

Baby boy had nothing to do with the deal,
but from it his fate may get the seal.
Which case had the million dollar prize,
baby boy can't even afford his McDonald fries.
For him the deal didn't pay,
maybe he'll make it through the next day.
