Debt

A thing to necessarily pay
Or have even powerless things block your way;
An unpleasant story
Making the more gory!

A thing to service
And you’re to serve some notice,
Disclosing your saddening lacks
And in your pockets the crippling cracks.

…Also, a thing to forgive,
When you can’t the money retrieve
Or it’s smell soon perceive
But over it won’t grieve…

The hugest debt
Is for the doubly set
Or one shall be jogging in an avenger’s net
With cheeks forever wet.
