The Plastic Octopus

I was simple, a very happy chap
before falling into the credit card trap
but after I got one, I rushed to the store
brought home presents in a colourful wrap
My wife got excited, and kids were delighted
but none could see the spreading blaze I ignited
Fake power to spend brought-in a new trend
to consume more, without depending on a friend
I’m passing sleepless nights, and dawns are a plight,
my ever-smiling contented heart now, is forever contrite
To the mirage of class and style, I lost the liberty, and my smile
why, sadly, I sold my freedom of being enslaved to a bank file???
