More money borrowed
More interested accrued
More signatures on papers you hardly ever read
anyway
Cause why would you sign
On that dotted line
Unless the other options
Didn't exist
Or perhaps exist yet
Lurking behind are pride and ego
Whispering lusts into our ears
Cravings/desires/feelings
Of entitlement
Of deserving
Of having our wants and needs fulfilled
Without keeping in the forefront
Of our minds
That there ain't no such thing
as a free lunch
and you always end up
paying your debts
Somehow.

so true, this poem. and neither is writing an ode a free lunch, but there is a debt incurred at the very start.
