I Sigh
I sigh when I watch men and women
just sit home drawing unemployment
when they are fully able to work.
Such benefits make me paranoid.
I see: some seem so sure just swimmin’
in hope that their shallow enjoyment
will thrive despite misgivings which lurk
in a mindless, a fatuous void.
Say: “Fee-fi-fo-fum” on congressmen.
What hope have we once our government
sets rewards for citizens who shirk
common sense? It’s Welfare on steroids.
I'm so disgusted, in deep chagrin
that such a farce can misrepresent
our nation. As an aging young Turk,
I don't know when I've felt so annoyed.
