EMPLOYERS
Employers why do you
Believe that your business/company
Take priority over
My personal life
When you'll fire me
Without a moment's notice
I work from nine to five
Not after hours
Or while I'm on vacation
I'm not being paid
To answer your e-mails
Or your phone calls
When I'm off the clock
Cross train employees
Hire enough workers and
Do your own assignments
I hope you get the MEMO!
That's why

The truth hurts, doesn't it?
You moan about how we say life isn't fair
But it shouldn't have to be fair for equality to exist
Life being fair isn't being born into luxury
Its being rich in safety
An automatic right we all should have
Being rich doesn't always equal wealth
Rich is safety and the lack of doubt
Invalidation is a hobby for

Bad Hair Day
Hair looked wild, got to hide my tattoo,
Because today I have a job interview.
I wear a long sleeve shirt, scarf, and hat,
To hide my dragon-skull and vampire bat.
Went into Blackrock, the secretary smiled,
I wanted to spend time with her a while,
Then she saw the beer stains on my shirt,
Decided she didn't want to flirt.
Talked to

Beside the city
River is running to meet sea,
mountain for touching sky,
bee for taking honey
Birds are flying high.
snail on the leave of tomatoes
sucking flower glaring butter fly,
numberless cricket coming far off
burning and one by one die.
green fields full of crops,
canal dancing near by,
jumping monkeys in the water
paddy fields, hovering on dragonfly,
melodious songs of shepherded,
bleating of sheep grazing nearby,
burning

Enthusiastic Job Candidate
Jennifer’s uninhibited exuberance filled the room
she had excited zestfulness that swept away all gloom
her sprightly effervescent personality was on fire
the bosses quickly decided she would be their new hire
resumes are a start but, in this case, they threw it away
her ardent passion for their company had them cheering all day

Street Entrepeneur
He sat on the corner his back quite bent,
each dollar he collected, he quickly spent.
His sign’s report,
He needed support,
His get up and go had got up and went.

The Ledger of A retired Nurse's Life
Tapestry of Life**
In the intricate tapestry of life, vibrant memories weave their threads, each one shimmering with its own hue. The echoes of past workplaces linger like faint, nostalgic perfume, evoking a bittersweet blend of longing and relief. Seacrest, with its relentless morning shifts and haunting graveyard hours, etched an indelible mark on my soul—a

WE'LL GET BACK TO YOU
We truly believed things would change
after years of sweat and sacrifice
planting seeds in borrowed soil
watering them with pieces of our youth.
Day after day, we sat in rooms
learning how to nod and pretend
studying to lead, to build
to heal nations with thought and pen.
Month after month, we challenged our minds
told ourselves we were shaping futures
learning to analyze

The Interview
You thought the application was the hardest part
Without actions you have to share your heart
While your talking you're wishing to read their mind
Are their thoughts of you nice, pleasant or unkind
Why do we have to be interrogated just for a job
By looking at me you can't tell if I'm a lazy slob
Yes I'm nervous and

Freaky People
“The employee shortage is so bad that long haired freaky people can now apply!”
~ seen on a mobile sign
Being of sorta sound mind and long hair,
I dare to compare myself with the supporters,
defenders of the length though “at my age, I

cut it in a current style to look younger, I’m told.
Stand up. Stand proud.

Walking On Eggshells
Walking On Eggshells
I’m not putting up with this s###
Always offended
Always the one in the workforce
Always playing the victim
Troublemaker
Just downright stubborn
Treading on water
Walking on eggshells
Anything to set them off
Push them over the edge
Your fired
Looking for the negative attention
Feed their insecurities
Probably in their 40’s

MY CV IS ENOUGH!
Why ask me
what I hope to be?
Why rate my worth
before you’ve seen me work?
Is my CV not enough?
A story told so clear and tough.
I earned my degree
and dream to lead and to oversee.
I’ve been a clerk
and I left my mark.
Each line on that page
holds my skills and my stage.
So why the doubt?
Why push me out?
I

The lorry driver
The lorry driver
Poem
Lionel Derbyshire
He is not at home
He is on an open
Dark wide road
With potholes.
His precious family
His treasure home
Is on his mind.
On his shoulders
Is a long lorry
With everyone's need.
Lorry driver
His restless arm
His calm arm..
With full of hope
He drives a load
Of provisions.
His steering wheel
He grips tightly
As if he is hugging his
Children.
His lorry moans
The mountains up and
