Mortgaged Poem by Nikunj Sharma

You have highligted a current and interesting topic! The Americans with their hi-fi living style were actually running into debts! I only hope that we do not follow the American model! I had been very hesitant and therefore avoided taking loans! But as the old saying goes, no risk, no gain! I also recall Marlow's 'Dr Faustus' where the Doctor mortgaged his soul to the Devil in exchange for all the pleasures of this world! Very interesting to read! 10! - Raj

The style is very good of course...but it is the portrayal of subliminal pathos of the conditioned life, that has been developed very well.

You have mortgaged poetic beauty for the sake of mortgage........................It is only a joke...........take it easy...............nice thinking.........

Mortgaged puts people on the bay when nothing to pay......A part of life in order to survive............10+++++++

Poor 'pin stripe' suited guys..they come in for all the criticism - no one thanked them during the good days! ! ! LOL good write....

So sad, but so many people caught in this spider's web. A world of suffering, and worse still, the perpetuators of the scheme have walked away with millions instead of jail time. I haven't been into a store in months...just trying to get through the month (and I have a set rate mortgage) . Everyone around me is either losing their house, or losing their job. That's why I wrote my poem Mortgaged. You and I are definitely exploring the same economic territory. Val

very good poem to learn about gateways to economy in different fields of life..........

Quite today's world with banking ideas spreading fast...promises to fulfil our dreams bringing with it more than just our dreams! .... Winnie
