Prosperity

If you ever get
Everything you want
You will be a slave
To prosperity.

A Ponderous Chain

She walks with some difficulty,
A slight limp,
A bit of a hobble,
Sagging and stooping,
Suffering the burden of her enormity,
Yet still able to push the shopping cart
Packed full of unnecessary food.

Link by link
She has forged a ponderous chain.
