Be grateful
just when you have to.
They’ll subjugate you
into being
indebted
obliged
consigned to slavery
to suit their purpose.
Life is a series
of give-and-take,
scrap that guilt
if you can
return favors
to even it out.
You are not responsible
for choices
which they made
peculiar to conditions
prevailing
there and then.
It’s an obligation
to be returned
not a burden to carry.
Beware of psychopaths!
Be grateful
just when you have to!
