Scarcely Saved

Mortgages and scam artist economics
Lost for credit scores, price gouging insurances and empty promise loans
Exploiting desperation to survive

Collecting on consumerist efforts of commercially instigated bondages of routine dysfunction
Everyone is a dealer when materialism is a vice and merchandise is paraphernalia

Lost for the let down of money highs
Temporal joys are a set up for the insatiable sorrows of inevitable loss

How do you count the cost of living when all we know is the toll in the aftermath of experience?
Born involuntarily into a damned existence
Is the risk of love worth the cost of its rewards when the suffering are expendable for the sake of the salvageable?
