Injustices of Life
People on jobseekers get treated like dirt,
They don’t matter as long as the jobcentre’s
Wallets get fatter.
The Poor people cannot afford to
Pay their rent
and eviction letters they are getting
sent.
feeding their families and keeping
A roof over their heads, people
Are feeling the stress and strain
Just to survive this rollercoaster ride
Without going completely insane.
People are treated as though they
are not worth bothering with,
People feel so worthless, useless
And depressed not to mention
The rest they really feel they
Have failed all the tests and
This is how they are repayed
And treated Like nobody even cares about them
Or their life despite their suffering
Economic Hardship’s and emotional strife.
It is humanly wrong and unfair that
So many are treated this way they don’t
Have a voice or let them have their
Say, them who must be obeyed
Or they will stop their pay and
They do, it could easily happen
To me or you one wrong thing
Is all you need to do and they don’t
Care how much you need that bit
Of means to live and get by
They just stab you in the back
As True Compassion and sympathy
They truly lack.
Times are hard for many and suffering at the
Hand of others gain, makes innocent people cry out
In pain as they endure a long hard journey
Of sadness, worry and misery
With no help or support to see them through
or the means to cope, they are simply lost
and in need of Hope that something will change
for them and others around
as they will simply give up and fall to the ground
Jobseekers need Help and Urgently as they are in dire straits
Even more than we can contemplate.
