Gullible Contract

Gullible Contract



Why does Labour attach strings
  (like tails of an ape),
By a Harness called Contract
  on man's supple nape?

Why does it recycle poor People
  (like biodegradables)
By firing and hiring another
  by law on the tables?

Why man, woman and child
  (who live by grime)
Toil just for One Man to prosper
  earning a mere dime!?

Why have they surrendered all
  (Liberty for dross)
And submit to one Man's whim-
  devil named Boss!?

Why is this Hungry Man's broth
  (other men's blood)
Bleeding them till so white
  starving them of food!?


Why.........................................
  (...........................)
...............................................
  .....................................!?

I'm a disciplined employee. But, at times, I feel employers are just but a dirty piece of junk!
