Debt

When it comes to your happiness,
Debt is a terrible thing.
To owe and not be capable of paying
Creates a terrible heaviness in the heart.

It is wonderful to have the things you want,
But not at the expense of contracting 
Excessive fear.
Being in debt is worse than artichokes o pizza.

Hey Roger, a warm welcome to Poetry Soup. This is a well written piece on a deeply troubling subject. I love the way you express the truth and the subtlety of debt. Great advise for us all. Well done! Be Blessed, Neva

Your attention was very appreciated Neva. It was a lift to hear from you. This is the first time putting writings out to the folks of the public. Again...Thanks! Roger
