Stress dwells
In a life that’s harsh
Fucked financially
By credit cards
No light on yonder horizon
Debt causes deprivation
Use them simply
Just to exist
The subtle temptress
Lures you in
With a promise
To help make ends meet
But you are only
Plunging more deep
Into a place hard to escape
Their smiles now lacivious
In every greedy way
And no matter how much you pay
Interest always stakes its claim
So balance does not reduce
And stress increases
Fighting and struggling
We work harder
To find a way to earn more cash
Escape the financial grasp
That debt has placed on us
Threatening to send us bust
Or maybe even turn us to dust
And yet the temptress
Continues to seduce us
To go deeper with its money lust
But I just want out
But spending was easier
Then now earning more
I do what I can
I write but nobody buys
I try everything except
Steal cheat or lie
But still it isn’t easy
I see those who steal, cheat and lie
Living a blessed life
And I don’t understand why?
Why does not doing things right pay
Why must I suffer debt
From the cradle to the grave
My parents you see lived the same way
Why do we get seduced by the temptress
Into becoming financial slaves.
