Times have changed, right?
We now have the internet
and tremendous wealth
blanketing the world.
However, some of us
are left out to scrounge for scraps.
See, some of us are
shackled to a thing called debt
and the lack of access to resources
to get out of debt.
The chains of debt
grabs us around our necks
and slowly tightens its grip.
No matter how much some of us try,
we can’t loosen its hold on us.
We live lives filled
with the day-to-day struggle
of barely making ends meet.
The glimpses of others’ wealth
and happiness
sometimes gives us hope
and other times gives us grief.
We’re left with hope,
moments of disbelief,
and the struggle of removing the chains.
