In Debt So Deep Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

In Debt So Deep



Once I had been enslaved,
To maintain a good credit rating.
And doing my best to keep,
Timely payments monthly kept.

Then one day a storm came and left.
Loosening a hold to allow peace,
Within me...
To let go of a smothering I chose.

Acknowledging,
I no longer had to prove my patriotism.
I was in debt so deep...
My being a true American no one could doubt.
