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.
