Premium MemberDebts And Disability

I splat the slim cigarette's ashes onto the pavement,
Little to no care of my own psychological impairment,
While living through life with no means of any repayment.

Premium MemberDebts and Obligations

Dreams come in all shapes and sizes
As we shift in the night
Side to side, back and forth
Weaving a path
That takes us in and out of ourselves
A self struggling to get right
And make it right, always and only
With itself.

These debts and obligations
Follow us everywhere
As our baggage and shadow
Weighing us down 
Keeping feet on the ground
While making

Premium MemberDebts

Just like my ridiculous amount of financial debt,
With the amount of lost rest accumulated as a sleep debt,
These will never be repaid until the day I am surely dead.

Premium MemberDebts of Love

On the wrong horse we placed our bet 
Feral lust was our middle name 
Carrying burden of our shame

Our heart was trapped in desire’s net 
Root cause, bondage to mind-body 
Succumbing to thought forms shoddy

We’re filled with remorse and regret
So we’ve turned now inward our gaze
Silence sets us free from the maze

We embraced not all

You Can'T Pale Me With Blue

Within a twinkling of an eye
You grew so tall and high
The little foxes in my vine
Growing with malign to break my spine

My mistakes might have given you my life
Cos I love my wife
And my children too
You can't pale me with blue

As long as my family remains ocean blue
My courage will surely accrue
To think you can

Premium MemberDebts 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

Premium MemberA Population Balance

Population 
Seems to be a constant ratio
New born and deaths   
Always keep a balance
Marriage and pregnancy 
Triple the populations
New generations emerge
Wars ,disasters ,epidemics, natural causes 
Double the diminishing
Deaths occur
What's a hell
Who is guilty 
Man is a part of the violator  
Because he starts a war
Because he persuades the virus grows
Because he's careless

Your Love Repays My Debts

I’ve known all sorts of people
I’ve said all kinds of things
I’ve disappointed many
Kept them waiting in the wings

I’ve asked myself what benefits a real connection brings

I had a dream about you
We were walking in a store
Felt a strange disorientation
Like we’d both been there before

Some things are just impossible to replicate, for sure

Here’s to new relationships
Down

OH! Our righteous and holy Lord God Almighty!
How it is true that most of your people belonging
To you? Know the portion of Your prayer when
You instruct us to forgive us our debts as
We forgive our debtors!

Dearest Lord Jesus Christ! But first we must learn 
How to forgive Ourselves! Which of course is much 
Easier said

Debts

I owe so many.
And they've become overweight.
I can't carry them any longer.
Whenever I returned home
In the dead of midnight,
The debt I owe mother,
Who waited up without eating.
When I lay in drunken stupor at the wayside,
The obligation I owe the mongrel
Who licked away sweat from my flyblown face.
The due I owe the neighborhood 
For not beating

Debts

I ran away from debts
into the bush I dashed
lion saw me and came
top of a tree I went
snake smiled at me there
fright grabbed me by the neck
I shouted for help

The one I ran away from 
came running, gun in hand
he shoot lion, shot snake
and took me home
for a party

“This is a party of honor

Marriage In Debts

Marriage is an engagement,
Two minds agreement,
The bed playing the middleman,
A bed,the first debt in marriage for settlement,
Ring brings a debt,
The cake baked in debt,
Dress designed in debt,
Meals in merchants books of debt,
A marriage is said in life to set,
But in fact it's settlements of debts!

Premium MemberWords Pay No Debts

Words fail me,
An inspiration 
I owe to you,
A bad debt ?

Obligations I know
Liable to render,
Have few words,
Did I trespass ?

Poverty stricken
Have no words,
Gift me cues,
Words pay no debts !
 

Do they ?
They don't ever,
So I won't either
Pay back your words !
