Give? Nay, Get

What would you give
To get what you want?
Perhaps you wouldn't live
In this world at all

Perhaps, indeed,
You wouldn't be here
Rather, a world of blue
Or maybe pink, yellow, green

For what is it you want
To do or maybe to have?
Perchance you just don't want a haunt
To bother you ever more?

So what would you give, I query
To get what you want?
I wonder if you ought be leery
Of the dangerous answer

So what can you get for free,
You think instead.
How about life eternally
The greatest gift of all?
