Priceless Burden

Priceless Burden was written for a class assignment on mind mapping. The assignment take a random object - mind map it and create a poem about the object without using the object name.

Priceless Burden

Plastic,
way of the world.
Priceless.
Never leave home
Without it.

Without it,
Never leave home.

Freedom False
Indebted Burden
Interest
Interest
Interest
Compounded
By interests
Outside my means

Those who don’t need
Get
Those who need
Get screwed

Trickle
Trickling
System
Working poor
Working hard
Working for nothing
But false security
False hope for “0” balance
False pride

Truth, Rip-off
Rip-off charges
Rip-off fees
Rip-off plastic numbers
Identifying me

So easy to use

Way of world

Priceless

Never leave home
Without it.

Without it,
Never leave home.
