Debts To Forget

There are some debts that, no matter what,
    Continually linger, never to be paid.
Even if the debtor makes numerous payments,
    A balance survives, as an endless interest cascade.

Regarding this issue beyond money,
    Is there a remedy that might exist?
Since there are those who may simply take 
    A write-off, yet both parties can become really pissed!

So while the scales are out of balance,
    Redemption allows those indebted to still live.
As grace comes to a compassionate compromise,
    With joy for all those to accept and forgive.
