Modern Slaves In Plastic Chains Claims Flushed Down Drains Poem by Terence George Craddock

Modern Slaves In Plastic Chains Claims Flushed Down Drains



once slaves toiled all day often in cruel metal chains
biting into scared legs barely getting enough food
Modern Slaves Are Not In Chains They Are In Debt
interest biting hard into minimum wage slave lives
psychological torture preying on minds trying to pay bills...

suckers buy high sucked in badly on advertized products
buy now pay later slick sales pitch sucker punch lines
at maximum purchase prices ensuring hype cost tallied
interest rates fester eats into poverty trap minimum wages
pay later repayment torment nightmare grief echoing chills...

enjoy now wake to poverty entraps gullible shopaholics
low paid minimum wage workers settle not for obvious
chains but temporary fleeting euphoria buzzy excitement
intense while amassed mountains of debt steadily grows
grief suckers buy advertized purchases with alluring hooks...

foul hooked through appealing shiny red apple sales schemes
buy now pay later credit card 20% plus interest racket deals
inflating their friendly local bank icing on devil's fool cakes
monthly profits line dude CEO trendy fashion tailored jackets
"In debt or dead, certain individuals wearing police uniforms...

supposedly serving best interests of public or elite rich people?
have a nasty habit of shooting homeless innocent individuals
poor less fortunate target agenda people dead on city streets
with sanctioned immunity on behalf of not a feeling caring
majority but a clear sideways for new world order overlords...

we would like to state here publically
that this is wrong absolutely unacceptable
but the time coded plan works like this
raise cost of living electricity food rents
medicare lower wages strip poor of human rights...
