Help Wanted
I stare into his eyes wondering if he will apply
hoping that this time won't be just another
one of the many I have fired
or rushed into hiring
you see for some I barely
glance at their resume
I just let them start
as soon as possible
can you be here Monday?
sometimes my wants
can make me blind
you see these guys
are not a potiental
employee of the month
they are the ones ready to disappoint
barely meeting any requirements
my desire to fill this position
has me aching inside
so I impulsively invite
even though it doesn't feel right
maybe he will do a better job
he might just surprise me
but no I still have this ad
waiting for the one
who can finally offer help
for this heart of mines.
