Collateral damage...

Collateral damage I think is the phrase...

A trade; a barter; bought and sold...

Money cannot buy it because it has no monetary value...

It cannot be touched unless it is exchanged for mere physical treasure...

Experience is abject because it means many things; individual...

Today someone I know paid a very heavy price...

A price that was, it would seem, brokered long ago...

A betrayal if you like...

Worse than a broken promise...

An innocent caught in a web of deceit; a piece in a game; no hope of breaking free, even though freedom was, in a fair game, within a soft touch...
