INDEBTED

 

INDEBTED

Sequel to sacrilege, debt-ridden,

Wanting, nevertheless if hidden,

Momentary happiness goods lit,

Unable to acquire borrows neat, (1)

 

Steep slope of hill imagine stay,

Just one step slips save no way,

Duality the world presents nicely,

Day and night saving debt costly, (2)

 

Stay hungry, minimum clothes sad,

Dignity dispels duplicity, feel bad,

Ordinary home minimum assets,

Earn human to capacity life reset, (3)

 

The beeline to loot time is deceptive,

Money humans stay short relative,

Attraction infinite discipline win,

Indebted to virtue rule supreme, (4)

 

Economic cautious plan future,

Indebted life debt traps capture,

Examine society's business crash,

No foresight lust for profit thrash, (5)

 

How many businesses collapse on the list,

Shareholder saving liquidate tryst,

What happens after the story saddens,

Prosperous houses perish madden, (6)

 

A person, state, or country faces,

Indebted with loan tension traces,

Look, O human, the tree near a pool,

Its root absorbs water the needful, (7)

 

Not one drop of water tree assimilates,

Message to humans it communicates,

Shellfish in the sea rarely drink water,

Wait for the rain drink or moisture, (viii)

 

The pied crested cuckoo waits for rain,

Being thirsty never drinks, in vain,

Not even rainwater on the ground,

Message to human indebted sound, (9)

 

The nature capability earning link,

Human life learns indebted rethink,

Borrow, like disease, cripple sadly,

Indebted the country sights madly, (10)

 

Gratitude is the virtue human likes,

Indebted express willingly life hike,

Evil attitude borrowing and  indebted,

Express gratitude happily indebted. (11)
