Do not ever run into debt!

[absent]

Beware! Beware of debt

Pay down for what you get

Your clothes are not instyle

But, wear them still for a while

With washing, ironing and needle, you

Can make them as good as new!


The head and not the hat,

The heart and not the fat,

Makes success of life,

For husband, child and wife!

Debt is a fearsome ghost,

which haunts us the most,

When, we desire sweet rest to reign,

within the real of our minds,

The floor appears bare and cold,

The furniture is old,

But, sweet is the sleep on straw,

from, where comes no fear of law

and the rude asking people for their dues,

for depts, which we should not have run

Do not ever run into debt, beware!

It is a trap, a snare,

let fashion put on airs,

You should shun all its whims and cares

Fine feathers sometimes make,

Fine bords, sometimes they break,

The wings in which they are worn

then dropping, soiled and torn,

under unforgiving skies

The deptor is a slave,

'' Many amn'' pales and tremples, when he meets,

His neighbor in the streets,

Reminding of his unpaid bills,

Which he says are shortly '' falling to his due''

what will become of you?

If you do not pay his bill?

You will still remain a debtor bowed down to his will!

For once, be a honest man,

earn all you fairly can

And spend less then what you earn

have the intelligence to learn

that he alone is free

is the persone, scorning luxury

borriwing leads men to forget

the consequences of debt

for even fetters made of gold

will bother the hearts they hold

Par A.I. Makki.
