Seems Long Overdue-Work In Progress

Many Many Jobs If I was a kid, I'd stack them like pogs Never did I find a place That I wanted to pursue A legitimate company Seemed long overdue Searched and Searched Found no more Can't be late or get fired Really? Who's keeping score? Finally found Verizon Worked on the phones Thought it was a final destination Melted my sanity to my bones Felt I was sufficating My world overwhelmed So many feelings bottled up So much, I no longer felt Ice Princess Needed a recess From all this crap It's like someone threw water on my face Gave me a good old SMACK Got sent home Couldn't go back How on earth Did this country get so of track We value money over health Companies take our brains with such stealth Gotta look at this and think If I owned a company and saw employees this way I could NEVER turn the other cheek If they do, What motivated me to find another Nope, not again, Got nothing to lose Broke as hell, but I've still got honor I'd rather go bankrupt than help them stand tall So why am I here? God has a reason But to me its unclear Everyone has a time With their life ends There's no more rhyme There's no more friends They were put here to do something, Big or small It's not like there's a wall that limits it Got lets you know when you're prohibited So until the numerous small things come up Or I run into some ridiculous large hick-up I'm going work to bring my dreams to life They're no good in my head If I die, No one can dissect it and say “I'll do this instead” Makes sense to me to take the time The moms and pops working hours overtime On their own goods and shops but somehow are still behind I'll promote you! My shop too! A mall filled of homemade moms and pops goods Made in America, this must be understood The saying “It takes money to make money” Remember that when you order pancakes with a little honey Nothing in this world is free If you want your kid to get a good job out of school with a degree Say goodbye to anything made overseas.

Glad to see you've written something new. I enjoy this poem and I'm sure everyone relates to having a job, I know I've had many, that is just so menial and ultimately unrewarding. The message of your poems to me tells me you would probably have been happier living in the past, say in the 40's or 50's. When life was just a little bit different. I often think I would have fit better in another time period as well.

The truth is well spoken. I hope you will find something soon. There is always a job that fits your personal description, one that you will enjoy doing. Do not worry it will come to you soon.

Hi Sharon, Way to go! You’ve tackled the theme with an honest shrewdness that is highly welcome. Wealth over health- now that's the motto ailing our society. Well penned. I’m certainly looking forward to read more of your work. Vicky.

The best way to change it is to become the change.
