Deeper Debt

It has been the deliverance of peace,
Severed from a stress...
To completely satisfy a mind at rest.
Freed from hypocrisy that mimics correctness...
Many choose to exchange,
To explore mental games.
And giving them their best.
Blessed some are to have chosen their own happiness.
And not have thoughts that they are sought,
Because they have either good or bad credit...
To produce deeper debt to invest more regret.
And others today have nothing to hock from their pockets,
But another bill to show they owe.
Or an I.O.U. overdue to be reminded,
From someone who has a need to be repaid.
As well as a patience wanted!
But seems from them to be fading.
