Joblessness
JOBLESSNESS!
Oh joblessness, you aweful, aweful thing!
I know you again and the misery you bring.
Never do you keep away for long, do you?
You evil doer, a form of a devilish
mind, you seek to demise the good of mankind.
You are not a child of the Earth, but a weapon
against it. You shall not grow and those who nurture you
reap what they sow; they too, your fodder and foe.
A pacer you made me, from door to door, besotted am
I to even the score. But, whoa! I am not poor! Be still so
the great book does say, for I am God, and will make a way
Your enemy will triumph over you, you evil thing!
Employerbility! Rear to my mind, but I kept you away,
The slander, the lies, the witchhunt, the callousness of your way,
your masters, without backbones know what to say.
Bitter am I for the future is bleak, they chose my words
And I could not speak. Friends do say, you come and go,
How long you last, I shall never know.
