Empathy
  is a glove
  that in us
 fits

sympathy
it's like  freely speech
frankly, lovely
from a mother ...

antipathy
it's like storming monday
without money
jobless
and loveless ...!...

A Nigerian, studying for years,
In higher institution,
Burning candles.

Graduated with honors, got no job,
Searching daily,
Fed up.

Tears rolling down, he is pained,
Remember him,
This I plead....

I am me
I am black
I live in the green land,
With its fertility i cannot get 
food to eat.
I am jobless,
I travel to white land in search of 
food.
They depend on my land for food,
I am me,
Running from my land...

Unemployment line
Single file to soup kitchen...
Fear of homelessness

Unemployment line
Cries in emergency room...
Fear, no insurance

Unemployment line
Like a faith-healer's crusade...
Hope to help, heal, house...

My friend quit her teaching job 
In January 
This is almost March
I had no idea until today 
That she is jobless. 
She sounds thrilled 
About not working 
But what about money? 
I wonder. 
Knowing now 
She must 
Not need it....

simple rustic fellows come to cities --to make a fortune;
pandemic leaves them jobless suddenly--no security!
walk back home scores of miles --wounded in feet and heart, forever.

Jobless failure life
Although not lazy
Active life spend I
Thirty two years young
In others favor

After Study
Institution
Certifies me
As graduate

But for job
Interview
Traps my life

Failure
Loves to

Fail!

Fear courses through me
Another day passes
Jobless and on the hunt
Sleeping on an unknown couch
Errors and lies lead to angry families
Run
Help
Fear
Homeless?
Idaho?
No.
Stay
Even if it's not good
Love 
Fear
Hate
Confusion
Help!
Please!
Help........

Comedians exploit the people's need,
to have themselves a good laugh to escape their harsh reality.
If the environment were changed to one where everyone benefits,
feeling melancholy or depressed would cease to exist,
making comedians obsolete or at the very least jobless....

Merry Christmas to you, Uncle Sam

Leaving the jobless with hat in hand

   Congress on a Yuletide roll

   Brought an end to public dole --

They’re cooking their goose, not Christmas ham




*Written in 2010 after Congress made cutbacks in social service programs...

A New Jersey-ite, his name Hobo Ken
For singing ballads, he had quite a yen
  He would sing like Sinatra
  From Vegas to Sumatra
On rails he rode with fellow jobless men

There are no job opportunities
for the people 
by the government.  
There are more rob opportunities 
for the government 
over the people.

No job opportunities had been 
created like they boasted 
during the rallies
More opportunities have been 
created rather 
to rob the jobless....

She married him new,
A jobless,
At dawns he get lost,
The dusks chasing him home back,
He returns home not empty handed,
But with a News paper,
Sat for lunch once he,
She torn the News paper into pieces,
Brought it to his table for his lunch,
What's this?he asked,
What you bring home,she said!...

Phones, wireless.
Cooking, fireless.
Cars, keyless.
Food, fatless.
Tires, tubeless.
Youth, jobless.
Leaders, shameless.
Relationships, meaningless.
Attitudes, careless.
Babies, fatherless.
Feelings, heartless.
Children, manner less.
We are speechless.
Government is clueless.
Politicians are worthless,
and I am scared ****less....

AM I THAT USELESS
I FEEL THAT USELESS
I HAVE NOTHING
I AM NOTHING
AM I HERE ON EARTH....
WITH NO PURPOSE...?
I HAVENT HEARD MY CALLING
I CANT REALLY SLEEP
MY DREAMS ARE NIGHTMARES
I WAKE UP SO EARLY
YOU WOULD THINK...
I HAD SOMETHING TO DO
LIKE I HAVE A JOB....
BUT IM JOBLESS WITHOUT A LIFE
AN EMPTY LIFE
JUST A WALKING SOUL

The jobless man 
Empty pocket 
Empty kitchen 
Empty plate 
Empty pot 
Empty Tommy 
Empty pulse

The Jobless man 
No money 
No food 
No home 
No social benefits
No state support fund
No basic life 

The jobless man
Dead system 
Corrupt government
Victim of a Brutal regime 
Failed politicians
Hopeless chances 
Damaged mind 
And now in the street hanging
Around as
The jobless man...

How humorous life is
Failure loves my career
I’m ascetic of it
As if in-out of me
For the futile practice
Jobless vagabond still

I run on the path
The competition
Merciless study
Within all efforts
But failure chuckles

From far unknown
Failure shoots me
On bed of thorns
Frustration sucks

Interview
Accident
In success

Failure
Defeats

Life!

Somewhere out there there is an old man 
Who gossips like an old woman 
His mouth is babbling everyday 
Without even a holiday 

Like an old goat out of reason 
Who passed out of season 
He speaks daily in vain 
For, in his life he got lots of complain 

His stomach bulges like a toad 
Like a bag full of load 
But he hides under his wife's skirt 
For he's jobless since birth

COPLA CUARENTA Y CINCO: This Bad Guy World

If all the people on this Earth
Decided to believe in One God:
Guess who jobless

Sure, humans need caring from birth
Not at the cost of sparing rod:
Coax hate madness

Who will speak for the Almighty
Must show proof of saintly presence:
Loin-cloth yogi

Not that there weren’t some thought saintly
They served lepers not malevolence:
Power hungry

We heard the buzz
A certain fly with hear on the wall
Twitters what was
The sorrow to come after the fall 
And all my life
Suddenly undefined and summed up
In a new strife
"We have to let you go." And we sup
Nothing but shame
Before the eyes of wife and children
The empty frame
Of manhood like a rag, and heaven
Silent just stared
At the end of fragile dignity
Jobless and scared
In a small scraps of identity....
