The Debtor Card

those in charge hope,
plan for a cashless society
that they may more easily mold
their consumers variety

nations of debtors
card holders
vying and crying
for possessions

taxes and prices sliding
proportional to income
with no way out
then things fixed

the cashshelless society
no cash savings
no piggy bank
just card-dollar stores

what ! (excuse my language)

Sounds like something from the future, but sadly it's now. Consumers are being consumed by faceless finance houses. I really enjoyed reading your poem, well written and so true, regards, Kevin
