Accounting for...

Broke

Unable to finalize any purchase

Checking

For change in the last places that one searches

Insufficient

To the point I'm unable to ward off the throes of destitution

Bankrupted

By devaluing those who have not made restitution

Insolvent

To the point of having to fight off the urge to curse

Disallowed by the prose that places value and give credit....to verse

Denied

Any credit accrued....maybe even unearned

Reevaluation

With no accounting for the time you

SPENT

Learning what you have learned

Depreciation or Appreciation

Cannot be quantified by the lack of someone.saying thanks

Interest will eventually be of value

Once accrued... but for now I must accept

That I'm simply overdrawn at my memory banks

Investment in my own value

Will allow me growth

In my own ...

......personal

Checking account

Helping me in balancing  the books

Keeping me payed up and happy

BY

Always giving others their true valuation

  So that ego doesnt become a currency

That is subject to... such a devastating inflation
