Hate memorizes more and forgets less than love,
as well as creditor and debtor... !...

spotlight 
falls upon
center stage
illuminating 
the podium
were the debtor
stands alone 
awaiting 
their opponent 
to arrive so 
that the emotional
debate may begin...

The words merely borrowed,
to then juxtapose

Each Poet the debtor,
whose lender forgoes 

All lines duly tendered,
with verses inured

The beauty, the order
—new feelings assured

I do not believe in the God who created inequality
I do not accept him who do not listen to the people who are in pain.
I don't know anyone who can't be seen
He who only wants service and does not give anything in return is nothing but a beggar.
But the one who has given a mind and a tongue to think these things
I am indebted to him each and every moment....

those in charge hope,
plan for a cashless society
that they may more easily mold
their consumers variety

nations of debtors
card holders
vying and crying
for possessions

taxes and prices sliding
proportional to income
with no way out
then things fixed

the cashshelless society
no cash savings
no piggy bank
just card-dollar stores

what ! (excuse my language)...

it's time to take the time
for me to get to know me
we all get confused sometimes
that is plain enough to see

I never really paid adequate attention
to who I really am
others surely did so much better
I guess that's quite normal
and others are also an insight debtor

 how long would this  take?
I guess I'll soon find out
some surprises sure to surface,
of this I have no doubt...

A sudden decision to hate Max
Who sent his bills like a tax,
Although, I’d wired him a fax
About a song I must first wax.

A reason to twist and turn
And out wardly burn,
Letting prejudice be born
And a relationship torn:
My defense; an easy-going creditor
Can bide with a lazing debtor

After I’d begun to hate Max
My face became supremely Lax
As though some stuff devoured from Octavio Paz....

Maintaining an evenness of devotion
means the world to me
don't fool and start a commotion
I recognize ye
There are times I ponder
as to why love don't last
why people squander
and rod do cast
are they not warm and dry but cold and wetter
is it themselves that is lacking
should they be a debtor
while the floor beneath them is cracking
in our walls of luxury
they should fix the dent
this is just the introductory
so contend to be content...

no good deed goes unpunished
no bad deed unrewarded
just deciding which is what
the altruistic and the sordid

depends upon the angle of view
what an act is deemed to better
and who it might be bettered to
gain advantage, and who's the debtor

gray is life's chromatic scale
certainty colored by present perception
think our discernment to no avail
that may be our own self-deception

clarity is the provenance of youth
blurrier is wizened maturity's truth

Mimi Kanawa lives on

A sore thumb in the rain

Creditor she preferred

A debtor she stood like a trout to bait

Hunger swallowed her so

But death stung her not

Being a hard row to hoe.

Mimi Kanawa made a parting with the road

That was so well made

The price overtook her

Repeatedly on this road

Though nothing lasts forever

Her gaze will always reign

For from her timeless gaze

Nothing will erase

Until I tell this tale

Of a fate too true to be stale...
