A Jobless Man

A JOBLESS MAN He strives daily Wakes up early To provide for his family On the table there's no food Even the health of the young ones is not good One needs medication Another needs operation There is nowhere to find money "I am failing honey," He says. Tears just fall Fall from them all Mother and daughter Father and son Who said men don't cry? Tell him or her that's a lie Poor man He never went to school But he's the only family tool They all rely on him When days are dark, bright and dim Poor man His daily bread is stress His daily make up on his face is sadness He is Jobless A JOBLESS MAN.
