These anonymous ‘debs’, Mr. Pettit;
My curiosity indeed has been whetted.
If I number among
This talented throng,
For your admiration, I’m indebted....

Picked off wreckage
Clothed and learnt anew
A mile further
Vinous, soft love
Shown to sweet calm waters
Stirred by angels for my quench
Deligted, indebted heart...

All to tell 
At all hands

A toll 
To pay out 
To go out
With no Dettol 
How high?
Death toll 

All to tell 
Indebted all 
Dettol  
Indebt all

With years gone by unwedded

One's heart is ever indebted

All moments in time regretted

With no child ever begotten

One's soul is left soiled and rotten

All hope is ever forgotten...

Doing a favour for someone doesn't mean
A return favour is required to equal the scene
It's okay sometimes
Being indebted ain't a crime
Just accept it gracefully and eat lotsa beans!

Sharp Suited Sharks 
Feeding
Fervently Feasting, Foul Fiends 
Covetous Cuthroats, Cultured Convicts Convincing
Innocents Inked In Immensely Incurred Interests, 
Indebted
Enslaved, Effaced Emotions, Exasperated...

In aspirations and antagonism
Silently flows lubricity mingled in lack of perception
Experience watches man of energy and tactics
Indebted to senses in real and constant virtue of the senses
Unfolds the beauty of laws...

If God got your back 
Chin-up woman,
Walk as if the Soil owes you.
There is no greater agony 
Than being a slave to your fears
And wretched past.
If it means you must use force to claim
What indebted to you, use it
And be ready to be hated
By those who expect you to shrink....

Equal on both indebted was the house,
There was but one small difference:
They that had always nourished grouse—
And whose drive always tried to hop,
Floors boasted on truth from roof top,
Discreet foundation kept silence.

I am indebted
That I could not pay
For the expensive
Music that you play

I am so thankful
That I walk humbly
For the beautiful
Pictures you portray

I feel this great awe
That I would shiver
For the rigid law
Of the world's nature

I am a poet
That I write each verse
Which I only get
From the universe...

The older I get
the more I know,
everything starts as a prayer

The older I get
the more I’m indebted
to a voice that I can share

The older I get
the surer I am
that life begins and ends

The older I get
the richer the words
—that spoken live again

I walk along this path 
Seeking peace instead of wrath…   
Truth has become who I am, 
Releasing those illusions creating a mental clutter jam…   
My heart is glowing brilliant and bright, 
Spreading serenity to all with great might…  
I am forever indebted to you 
For a love so beautiful and not askew…...

Her Empress, Shaniqua,
The Princess of Sauerstown;
Picked me up at a farm
In Victoria Falls;
She cleansed me and paid off
All my debts,
Took me to the City of Kings;
I remain indebted to her,
May the legions know.

This is utter rubbish.

Rubbish is my middle name,
That's why you picked me.

Indebted to pride,
Paid unceasingly,
Dutiful visits,
Souls of conviction,
Undaunted revived.

Call the humane,
Hail the advanced,
Hence well cultured,
Chivalrous realm.

Perfect stretch,
Sound advice,
Picture sharp.

Humble,
Noble.

Blest.

Today we are indebted to be quixotic
And think of yet another valentine.
We know the rules and we are both obscure:
Today’s the day we have to be romantic.
Our love is old and sure, not new and frenetic.
You know I’m yours and I know you are mine.
And saying that has made me feel romantic,
My dearest love, my darling valentine, -Tim Duncan...

Columbus, ignoring advice,
Went out searching for Indian spice.
     His signals got crossed
     And soon he was lost
Which for us, turned out better than nice.

So this holiday everyone hails
One who, at his intended goal, fails;
     But because of his goof
     We're indebted - as proof,
All the stores have Columbus Day sales!...

It’s for me and some for you my poetry helps to get me threw But understand your looks and judgements can never stop what I do A lifetime of pain poured threw a pen
God has place my purpose in front of me indebted to your hate I plan to be Sit back and watch your energy and my talent redefine me and shape my work into what it is meant to be...

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....

This poem insists on hiding;
It’s resisting being found,
Despite the fact it knows full well
To daily verse I’m bound.

It’s teasing and it’s taunting
Staying just beyond my grasp.
I grapple with it but the words
Just vanish from my clasp.

I’m indebted to my pencil
For it’s managed to corral
This rambunctious little bugger,
Which has lifted my morale....

Forever indebted
to my hero
without a cape
an angel without wings
everybody knows your name
 Without super human strength
but stronger than ten men
patience of a saint
mercy equal to none
 The ability to fight the world
and still shine
doing it twenty four hours a day
and never asked for a break
the world upon your shoulders 
and don't shake 
you truly are legend...

WHY THE SWORD KILLS
When I give my mother a slap
She remembers the nine months
And years she nurtured me tenaciously.
When I bomb the temple of my religion
She regrets all the spiritual feedings-
And the ideals she showered on me. When I betray a trustworthy friend
The confidential confiding and love, will be remembered
If I betray my nation
The national pledge
I am forever indebted....
