Who thought of this system called credit?
I wonder if it was started by the creditor’s observance.
Or was there one reluctant soul that sold thine ancestry to the devil?
Either way, did they think it was a good idea at the time?
Hopefully there was a moment of second-guessing
With the weighing of the pros and cons.
I wish there were a re-thinking by the beggar
That put the situation into better perspective.
Maybe the family establishment was in dire straight
And had no other plan to get what they desperately needed from the greedy?
Famine has a way of breaking the strongest of spirits.
Maybe it wasn’t as dramatic as that.
Sometimes, simple wants are as powerful as 1,000 steeds racing to make
The pack as jealous as can be.
What made this person look upon another as an institution of in debt salvation?
I’m curious to know if there was an awareness of future repercussions.
What prevented the clues of the dues that were due from getting through?
Perhaps the arrangements were not made to be paid attention to.
I wonder if the entire process was made to reverse easily.
Was the person just looking for a temporary fix the way
a young mother hands over a pacifier to her screaming child?
Was there ever a realization that a revolving door system was instantly created?
Is it possible that even a mutual agreement can be unbalanced?
What happened when the notice spread wild fire notions to the masses?
Did a scout bell ring throughout the town alerting all the disilluded to the slaughter?
How did the brother who borrowed the dime for just one time end up being multiplied?
This boggles my mind.
How much information was given before the option was chosen?
Was the donor generously scrupulous to grant a reprieve?
