Debt

Ever wonder why corporations are worth billions?
Anyone guess why our debt is in the trillions?
Are they really serving humanity?
Or are they contributing to the insanity?
The goods and services provide for themselves.
They'll be distributed among ourselves.
Regardless if a few make billions
While they run the debt into the trillions
Just what is this great big sum
Said to be owed by all?
How did we let it get so far?
Surely, it's bound to fall
Money exists solely in debt
The hoarding of it, some consider wealth.
The clamor created by consuming stuff
Equates in some minds, to positive health
It ignores the fact staring it in the face
The mechanisms needed to succeed
In this profit driven economy
Are based solely on personal greed
What if the measure of personal success
Was dependent on that of all the rest?
Would people still clamor and consume
Or would everyone's personal success resume
