Who will hire me
Now that I have reached sixty?
The rent is still due,
Though the things I need are few
Nothing in this world is free.
Trump's government's a total wreck
The unemployed could wring his neck
They needed relief
But found only grief
With a Trump Reality Cheque
unemployed thorns wait
sharpening their re’sume’s
………hope springs eternal

When he was young
he survived on smidgens
from starving artists
unemployed musicians
And that is why
he's often said
He feeds the pigeons
Mortal Angels as people are unemployed these days
Ask help for certain Mortal Angels
Today and everyday
They will not refuse to assist you

A young ‘roo in Australia named Joe
At work, he was a no-call no-show
His boss he annoyed
He’s now unemployed
Where he works now, we really don’t know
One hand clapping causes tornados
On the northernmost slopes of Kilauea
Houses are destroyed
Many unemployed
But stocks were up for red ripe tomatoes
ALL WORK
All work and no play won’t make me a dull boy - I am unemployed

Next!...Can I help you?
Unemployed, huh? Humm, let's see
Gotta check my records here...
Nope! No openings
Directions?... Not a problem
See that sign that says - YOU'RE TOAST?
***Re-titled and edited version
A deadly sin
A steady win
Pride is a poison that makes one blind
And is often a burden to carry on a climb
It kills, destroys and may often leave one unemployed
Pride, so many lives it has destroyed
Today they tell me
I no longer have money--
Congress, why is this?
A. Green
Workers all over the country who have been
laid off are no longer receiving benefits. Guess
they want us to starve.
Uninspired
Undesired
Unadmired
Unstable, unable, unemployed
Unbelieved, unbelieving
Unachieved, unachieving
All this - Undisputed
But was he Unhappy?
Now that he's no longer
Unknown?
lucky are
those who work...
unlucky are
those who don't have
employment...are not lazy
those who don't work
for lack of employment...
Are the unfortunate ones...
When you hear that alarm clock ring,
be prepared to get up and swing.
If not, you could be in bed all day.
The morning will quickly pass away.
At work, the boss can get annoyed.
Get up and out before you're unemployed.
Inspired by another member's poem.
Part of the Unemployed
What if I were to be paranoid
Of some things is there a void
Or maybe what I stipulated
By now has become outdated
I am now part of the unemployed.

There was a young woman who stayed persistently unemployed
Not having a job, or any work, made her feel overjoyed
Drawing her fine government check
To complainers, said “What the heck!”
Which made those working around her considerably annoyed.

A girl silent as a flower
Never could be prouder
Never lost, always loved
Always mistaken, taken for granted
Careless and carefree
At most, clever and yet so anxious
Truthful but never enough
Here and there, never stopping
Yet she stays an unemployed babysitter
He was walking down the side of the road
Burdened by the size of his load
He’s a man on his own,
Without any home
A current expression
Of the modern depression
He’s just out in the void
Of the great unemployed
He’s there so we see
But for the grace of God go we.
Mdailey 8/1/11
i'm lost amongst
nowords surround
ing me block my sight
where i can't see
reach my arm my hand
in a demand in a plea
help me i'm destroyed
unemployed from reality
& all the horrors it
holds i'm okay i say
to myself over&over&
so many times i can't
find my way thru my
own mind
clean carpets fresh scented
unembarrassed for guests
sticky reside unglued
cracker crunches undone
hallway empty of echos
painted fingers faded fast
toy chest passed on
clatter and laughter gone
mother's tasks snatched
unessential, unemployed
home vacated, heart void

And this headache overpowers me
I forget my dreams again
And my time to remember
Is coming to an end.
We’re broken to die
Life in between
What was good and what is real
Is wasted
In forgotten
Or abandoned dreams
If unemployed pain
Is resurrected again
Sad words flow in sad rivers.
Laid off, Unemployed, no pay
No funds to pay the electric bill
Service disconnected. Temperatures plumeting
As night sets, snow and ice fall silently apon the eaves,
entombing the house.
Silent night plays, somewhere...
while his body freezes and life ends.
For Laura Mckenzie's contest winter's beauty/destruction
Santa Claus has been unemployed all year
On the dole watching TV drinking beer
Ms. Claus was going berserk
Its Christmas time you fat jerk
Get off your duff and saddle up them deer

I ain't quite ready yet!
To stand in the dark recess of the cupboard
As unrequested
Out of date
Discontinued
Campbells..... chicken soup
My heart still listens
My stomach
Still loops the loop
When you are around
Yet still
I just stand
Unenjoyed
Unemployed by loves relish
So as a pitiful dog
I'll lay in my basket
And just embellish
