Forced To Live Within Their Means Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Who has made the acceptance of debt,
With more credit to get...
A way of life expected?

And having bills to pay,
With a card to make it okay...
To charge on it without a cent in one's pocket.

And who has made it a bragging right,
To have more plastic to carry...
Than a dollar one can not produce?

Who has made this way to live acceptable?
To then expect a hole dug to do...
With delusions kept to keep,
That those forced to live within their means to budget...
Are the reason why a depleted economy futher is reduced.
