You will meet
people
in life who
love to keep score.
“I’ve done this for you, so
you should do that for me.”
They keep a mental ledger.
They’re pathetic.
Nothing is ever done out of
the goodness of their heart.
Their mind clicks with
records and accounts.
They are slaves to the
almighty penny.
Nothing you do will
ever
count anyway.
You’re always in
the red.

Thanks, Willow
Reminds me of the taxman. lol
Thank you.
Powerfully penned, Thomas. Sounds like capitalism to me, and the force-fed propaganda woven into our heads on a daily basis. Excellent write my friend. Appreciate you.

I have known these people my friend. You write this very well, with insight into their character.
