Giver of Usury


Those feeling unsecured,
who be in brokered deal need,
listen to this vary interesting message carefully

I got what you don’t have,
but what you want financed desperately
You most certainly can get it from me,
this promissory promise 
gets my profit lending approval
My actuary guarantee   ...   you can bank on it!

I’m a giver of usury
And I take no pleasure 
in taking your vital possessions — 
The necessary things you and yours
need to survive

But I most assuredly will repossess them
should you not comply
To the fine print agreement
that was co-signed on the dotted line

I’m a giver of usury
For every dollar you borrow from me,
I will want two returned,
vary quickly

I am bound by the loan shark code of honor,
to bite the hand
which fail to repay me

This is the default judgment
agreed upon by you, with much debt gratitude
Signed in sweat and blood
to receive the money

In the long run, 
I made you so short-term happy

In deed, I am a giver of usury

WoW! Freddie, I really enjoyed how you penned this my friend. Most of the time we could be signing our life away. Those slick talkers don't was us to see the fine print. As always great job. PS, Did I mention, that's it's nice seeing you posting again? If not I'm so happy to see you posting again my dear friend. Have a fantastic day:-) Alexis

Trickery is the sister of usury... They often walk together... Well written piece, speaking truth. Ann

I think it's best to stay away.. there are a lot of givers of usuary, but they want a lot back in return...
