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.
