Mortgaged Poem by Nikunj Sharma

Mortgaged

Rating: 4.6


buying dreams was easy for me too
Just signed up a loan
; leveraged and bought all;
Cheap money could buy..

Sold out to a pin striped suit,
gullible as an innocent child,
dreaming a candy rainbow.
A little more every month
could buy a bigger house,
bigger car and everything,
cheap money could buy.

Magic wand of money,
spinned everything
rosy and cozy,
hopes and dreams being lien marked,
human mind oblivious of gravity,
newtons' law forgotten. Around me
Everything cheap money could buy.

Larger than life EMIs,
constant in a variable world,
haunt like a stalker through days and nights.
Depleting bank balance,
creeping worries,
came free with everything,
cheap money could buy.

To increase the quality of life and to have more comforts, sometime we have to go for mortgaged loans. Now Credit Card is a better name for mortgage available in every pocket oflate. A well composed poem.

Excellent write, very much related to the present situation many people are finding themselves in. Heart is the only thing which is not mortgaged, or maybe we can't be sure of that too.........Nice 10

Very creative! You did well to combine what you know with how you feel. Words chosen to create the fabric of which you sew, to style a perfect fit. A poem of style and color to be worn by many. Read and wear! You are exercising your talent to produce entertainment. I enjoyed this. :) DC

So sad, but so many people caught in this spider's web. A world of suffering, and worse still, the perpetuators of the scheme have walked away with millions instead of jail time. I haven't been into a store in months...just trying to get through the month (and I have a set rate mortgage) . Everyone around me is either losing their house, or losing their job. That's why I wrote my poem Mortgaged. You and I are definitely exploring the same economic territory. Val
