Debt Cancelled

Defaulting on all past
  and future sins

The weight of their debt,
 —the present rescinds

The Debt

Buying my life back,
  a Poem at a time

The debt was slowly paid,
  in rhythm and in rhyme

When Wet Do Pay Debt

Much of this will sound familiar.
Watch out for neighborhood
pet.

when we will be wet
be sure that you pay each debt
never forget pet

As the Debt Collector Stood

upon my door
i looked across the road
Where days before
a kind woman
died of corona
and in the background
iPhone advertises
in my sighies
all monies dies

Debt

Looks like i have it made,
ten to the ace of spades,
royal flush but if you turn the page,
you'll see a different story, 
a man that knows nothing about glory.

His currency was empty promises.
He doled them out like no tomorrow.
Meanwhile mountain of debt accrued.

Jam Today - Thoughts On Budget 2022

The budget though
I have to say
Does sound a bit so
Jam today

Jam for some, for
Others sorrow
Nothing left for
Jam tomorrow

With no Dettol 
How high?

Met Debt With No More Regret

Met Debt With No More Regret

Remembered when we finally met,
What we owed and all of our debt;
If we did wait,
Would accumulate;
We were so happy with no regret.

Called Trump King of Debt

Called Trump King of Debt

What they call  Trump is King of Debt,
That we have heard with much regret;
Lost in space;
A nut case,
Which surely does seem to get upset.

Love Is a Another Name For Debt

Where is fat baby cupid?
I hope he knows I think Valentines day is stupid
Buying expensive gifts at Walmart
Overweight babies shooting love darts
Honestly the whole holiday is simply putrid

Cross of Gnosis

The debt of soul to Nebro came through the cross of gnosis
Through strength of spirit, though no mortal sacrifice could pay that debt
Christ the vine became that tree of gnosis to pay the debt

In Debt To The Devil

Money buys 
freedom
when blood’s 
overdrawn
Reality’s
greed
destiny
pawns

Money buys
freedom
its truth
to bemoan
Dignity

Premium Member Whose Got the Money Honey

Whose got the money honey?
Raining debt is just not fun
Have you got the money honey?
Rebecca's farm no longer sunny.
Whose got the money honey?
Could it be the Easter bunny?

Debt Dam

Fools' parody of having's sort,
now obligations drained resort.

Speculations wonder, dreams a'soar
asunder now, plagued debt's encore!

The vision's plunder, to have more
dam's broken . . . underbelly's floor!

America the Beautiful But With Millennial Angst

Oh dutiful, foreboding debt 
That I know I must pay 

For education I must get
To pad my resume 

And yet I feel like I've been robbed
For now it sadly seems

That I can barely get a job
Let alone one of my dreams

Debt Is Evil

debt is evil
 
debt is a well 
with chains of 
evil nets 

where hell 
rest on earth 

upon our life's
with out an ending 
solution
 
the worst of it all
it is cause
by human being

that is why 
debt is evil

if all i know is debt
so all my funds are soon to be
with folks i never met?
why is it that i can't get loose
from all this heavy load
the fed and governmental truss
has made us all emplode

Debt Service

What makes you think
you can mortgage a heartache

What makes you think
your payment’s unique

What makes you think
your indebtedness special

What makes you think
—you can leverage the pain
