Working Person Poems | Examples


The Power of Three Thousand

Don’t tell me change is impossible.
I’ve done the math.
3,000 people.
$10 a week.
That’s $30,000 every week.
Invest it wisely, even at 3.25%.
That amounts to $1.6 million per year.
Enough to start a small business annually.
Enough to buy homes outright.
Enough to give dignity without debt.
And if thousands of groups did this?
Poverty wouldn’t need handouts.
Governments wouldn’t bleed through welfare.
Education, health, pensions—they’d thrive on the dividends of collective care.
I don’t care if you follow this.
Just don’t complain when you didn’t try.
This is how we fight unemployment.
Not with blame—
But with unity.
Not with pity—
But with the possibility.
The greatest gift you can give a child
Is a career that lasts a lifetime
Wages provide money to feed your family
creating employment worldwide 
would overcome both poverty and starvation
creating independence with employment 
lets everybody thrive 
If every  working person that could invest ten dollars per week 
Invested in groups creating employment for the unemployed 
You could create better lives for everyone

We Need Love And Care For Everything

We don't need that good person
We just want to be with someone 
Who makes us feel comfortable in everything.

We don't need that strong person
We just want to be with someone
Who can give us feel secure and feel safe.

We don't need that hard-working person
We just want to be with someone
Who can provide us food on the table always.

We don't need that beautiful person
We just want to be with someone
Who can give us love and care in the hardest time.


Hardwork Pays Off

THEY LAUGHED, HOW HE WORKED HARD ALL NIGHT AND DAY,
THEY TEASED AND TAUNTED HIM ALL LONG, BUT HE COULDN'T SAY.
A PERSON WHO IS BOUND TO DO SOMETHING HAS 3 THINGS ON HIS LIPS,
SILENCE. SERIOUSNESS AND A SMILE, WHICH ACTUALLY MAKE MANY RIPS.
THIS SAVAGE ATTITUDE SAYS MORE THAN WORDS,
A PERSON WITH THIS PERSPECTIVE IS SURELY, FOLLOWING THE BIRDS.
TAKING FLY, NOT BOTHERING THE CIRCUMSTANCES,
AND MOVING AHEAD LIKE STANCES.
DEEP INSIDE, THE HARD WORKING PERSON KNEW, HIS WORDS WOULD NOT BUT HIS RESULTS WOULD SPEAK,
BEING FIRMED ON HIS WAY, HE DIDN'T WANT HIS IDEAS TO LEAK.
A DETERMINATION IS NEEDED,
IT COULD NEVER BE GRADUALLY SEEDED.
IT TAKES A WILL TO EMPOWER YOU,
IT'S NOT THAT EASY, LIKE TURNING A SCREW.
KEEP YOUR MIND NEAT AND FRESH,
MIND ME, AFTER BEING AT THIS POSITION, NO ONE THRESH.

The Bus Trip

The Bus Trip 
We are driving to Cascais on Sunday my wife wants to take 
the bus she thinks we are too old to drive 300 miles. 
On the bus, you might risk sitting by someone who can`t afford 
water or soap that is a low grade working person on his way to 
use a spade and whatever to build a trench that keeps the water 
away when it is raining

I`m  a tonic water socialist and read the Guardian, crystal glasses 
and a sneaky *** on the loo. To meet a proper working class person 
would shatter my illusion and bring back a memory of my father last time 
I saw him it was on a bus and he was drunk.
I will drive- anyway- not long from now I will not be able to they are 
putting up obstacles to stop us old ones driving

You Can Build a Life If You Care

If ten unemployed people formed a group
if ten people saved only ten dollars a week
after the first week they would have
One hundred dollars to invest

One hundred dollars would buy
equipment to wash and dry cars
a start on the road to make work
a start to build better life perks

If ten unemployed people formed a group
after only six weeks they would have 
six hundred dollars my friend
enough to buy tools for the road

A lawn mower sharpens the day
perhaps in landscaping they play
If after two years that ten thousand shares
perhaps it's a second hand shop

Investing in you
perhaps it is true
you can build a life 
if you care.

Perhaps with stock from Ebay
and from a shed you sell
you can create a future 
that better in the end

This idea is quite simple my friends
but builds to make useful new ends
if each working person
was simply to save 

It could make a future 
for me and for you
Imagine if each working person
saved ten dollars a week as a group

we could build jobs for our future 
we could build jobs for our kids
we could build jobs to stop staving
the children are hungry for food
