Debt Reckoning

Later has become now.
Debt dominoes are falling.
"I can't," must become, "How?"
"I won't," just sounds appalling.
Debt dominoes are falling.
Where will the pattern stop?
"It won't," sounds so appalling.
Why must all the dominoes drop?
Where will the pattern stop?
We could be saved by a gap.
Must all of the dominoes drop?
We may have built our own trap.
We could be saved by a gap.
We must pull out some dominoes.
We may have built our own trap.
Not thinking of tomorrow shows.
We must pull out some dominoes.
"I can't," must become, "How?"
Not thinking of tomorrow shows.
Later has become now.
