Debt is the Slavery of the Free

Track 1
Reconstruct the poem by dragging each line into its correct position. Your goal is to reassemble the original poem as accurately as possible. As you move the lines, you'll see whether your arrangement is correct, helping you explore the poem's flow and meaning. You can also print out the jumbled poem to cut up and reassemble in the classroom. Either way, take your time, enjoy the process, and discover how the poet's words come together to create something truly beautiful.

Working nine to five, still can't make ends meet
Student loans, credit cards, man, it kills
Interest piling up, we can't break free
Gotta break these chains, before our spirits tank
Trapped in a cycle, can't get off this street
Debt is the slavery of the free
Debt is the slavery of the free
Started with a dream, now we're drowning in bills
Got us chasing paper, feeling smaller and smaller
About a trap that's got us locked in a cell
Freedom's just a word when you're owned by the bank
Debt's the new shackles, that's the deal
Debt is the slavery of the free
But knowledge is power, time to break free
It ain't bars or chains, but it's just as real
Chains made of credit, can't you see?
They say money talks, but debt screams louder
Yo, listen up, I got a story to tell
'Cause true freedom starts when you free your soul
Educate yourself, make a plan, take control
