Today a truth roosted in shock
tsunami wave of obligations
outstripped generated income
It pushed its self importance
from an inconvenience
to life altering effects
My problems and stress results
make comparison to a tsunami
a complete insult to any victim
But I do feel a stress upon my mind
as if vertigo wave motion –
tough to achieve stability
Financial institutions vent no interest
they just want to profit from misery
Your solution is possibly solved
if you accept extortion interest rates
Something a back-alley criminal
would be ashamed to charge
This is the new prohibition era
to bypass help and enhance profit
Government watches and accepts
that you are the main fault to blame
You trusted in election promises
and Canadian corporate commerce
