RENT ....RENT IS DUE...

by Harry Brotzman Jr.

In Hell, RENT is due every day .. no excuse;
The master of hell will guard over you now.
Those painstaking years of deceit and abuse;
Now, he insists, by the sweat of your brow.
TIME is no more on your side to stall or cry,
Hasten your concern, no satisfaction now.
Your time is consumed upon demand by him;
The master: deceiver, liar, cheat, now bow.
Your RENT is due as eternity daily grinds;
No compensation, no relief, no breaks in life.
Daily demands by smoky, choking, harsh finds;
Pain, strength dwindling with each sigh - strife.
Daily, fiery intense struggle, your mind twists;
Your thoughts, your actions, all going confused.
No benevolent hand to turn in this risk;
No help anywhere, no source known, just diffused.
Your RENT is due, on your human soul;
You are having your part in the anguish of all.
The forgotten, the lost, the ruined, the foul;
Hell has no goal, no comfort, no future stall..!
