Debt and Its Effects

Debt can be a heavy burden to bear, and everyone at some point in their lives will be touched by debt. This poem is my way of showing how easily we can get into debt and what we should do when we are free of debt





Credit cards and shopping sprees
How we loved to spend
Household goods and furniture
The very latest trend

And when we got the items home
We’d sit back and enjoy
Acting like a couple of kids
Who’ve been given a brand new toy

After days and weeks had passed
Our hearts they had sank
As that’s when the letters arrived
From credit companies and the bank

We couldn’t make the monthly payments
And things were looking bad
If we didn’t sort our finances
They’d take everything we had

Things are so much better now
We’re finally out of the red
And though there’s no more shopping sprees
We can finally look ahead

So if your sitting wondering
If there’s a moral to this tale
Don’t buy it with a credit card
Just wait for the January sale
