| Obligations Killed Joy |
Until death do us part
With a grimace he recalls
The favor needing repayment
The debt that cannot be repaid
The burden he cannot release
The wife,
children,
parents,
job
Personal improvement
Retirement
The future
The mountain of obligations
Smothered his joy
Decades ago
His existence is an eternity of scripted aggravation
Hoping death will do us part
Soon
