The Tragedy of Unemployment

By Elton Camp

Jerry had been employed all of his life
And had two children and a loving wife

He had ability, experience and good pay
It was unexpected what the boss did say

“Due to the economy, changes are slated.
Your job is one that’s to be...

UNEMPLOYMENT....

All we hear about is unemployment,
Appears to be a global torment,
Couldn't we think of creative solutions,
New inventions, using less pollution?
New ideas, concepts for the plebs to need,
What can we invent today? Yes indeed!
We could start by teaching global literacy,
Imagine how many books we'd need!
What about...

For the unemployed...

It's my fifth day of unemployment
and I'm going a little bit crazy.
I'd expected to sit around and relax
and in general behave quite lazy.

Day one, I made a scrapbook
and rearranged all my craft totes.
Day two I cleaned out bird cages
and started writing pre-Christmas notes.

Shopping is done...

Go out and get it we told them
And I have seen mothers wringing leaves for tears of tea
I have seen fathers striking stone
And cursing the prophecy of water from the rock
And I have seen them day after day like sheep
Staffed and rodded into an obedient...

How dare this notion
Bury with green the last roots
And piss off a rose!...

Of Unemployment….

It’s somewhat strange that the very thing
That provides a life resource takes my life away.
Gives me money to buy presentations of life
While keeping the progression of my mind at bay.
I can feel the neurons of my brain beginning
To communicate like long lost friends,
Calling from...

Iam the one completed my graduation

Joined in unemployment youth 

Now staying alone 

Day and day everyday..!

Now and still searching for a job 

Pass and faill return test’s

Facing face to face interviews 

Day and everyday  fighting with me
For the mission 

After the graduation I think...

Good MORNING CITIZENS
Welcome to the employment lounge
Have a pleasant day.
Step up state your claim 

Please speak clearly
Move to the side
Step up state your claim 
WHAT'S  YOUR  FAME?

Step up state your claim
What's your  FLAME?
CHECK YOUR  FLICKER?
YOU'RE  in the  GAME.

GOod morning...

Out of the job, looking for work, 
Will do whatever needs to be done,
Have been the words I’ve said every day, 
Ever since my redundance begun,

But all of the work is applied for online, 
With pages and pages of files,
Where every small detail of my...

Im unable to diagnose, or come close 
To why employment says adios

I cant keep a job, Only god knows why
My plans go awry, but I continue to apply

Each passing moment echos each passing day
Has it been 3 months since I've been paid

My parents look on...

RETRENCHED WOMEN

The soul aches
    numbs the brain
          Pictures float away of women
             crying, laughing, ironing sheets
thinking about jobs and sex

I awakened to butterscotch sunshine, pouring through my window;
And I lay there for some moments, feeling the balmy wind blow.

I would have basked in it longer, save for a job that I enjoyed;
And being late was the one thing, I'd always attempted to avoid.

I had...

Beneath the cold glare of the desolate night,
And from a thousand miles away,

I heard her cries and felt the fathomless depths of suffering
Tearing her wounded soul and bruised emotions apart.
I collapsed into a dreary and hysterical depression,
'Cause the blood that runs in me,
Is the same...
