Redundant Giz a Job

#
Are we as human's and our labour becoming redundant ?

By the means of our own
technical endeavour ?

Historically people's
surnames where derived from
the profession or trade they did

#
Ironically a man named Job's
and a company called Apple

Created as all a means of
buying anything we desire
online

And in so doing cost thousands
of small business and shop worker's
their job's

But hey you don't have to worry
about this unless you yourself
have been made redundant

Because your phone will come
in handy then when you have to
go and log online in order to fill in
those forms you have to in order
to process your unemployment
benefit claim

This is a very clever write, surprised there are not lots of comments, I really enjoyed it and for sure, if people carry on as you say, they will have to fill in forms for unemployment benefit claim, blessings and hugs, jennifer.
