Our world has gotten themselves into much trouble with plastic. Now some have lost their cars, homes, and are living in shelters. So sad. God Bless

"That Magic Plastic"

She clutches her smooth majestic golden plastic,
Now off to spend money she never had,
Maulty colored man made evil…. with its magnetic strip,
Designer styled plastic for ones uncontrollable bad.

One card just isn’t enough to carry it seems,
Some seem to need to have five of them or more,
Most retailers pushing their own kind of addictive promos,
With more interest added onto things purchased… than the ones before.

Late payments will cause a horrible chain reaction,
Increasing outrageous interest… rising sky high,
Affecting your now low credit scores… that might follow you forever,
Unable in the future… to ever with plastic buy.

All of what is now owed is on the line,
Filing bankruptcy seems now ones only hope or way out,
Pretty magic plastic…giving you seven years bad luck,
Breaking this habit will take much more,
Than… cutting them up and throwing them all out!
