OH NO,  NOT  AGAIN

Yes, it happens, over and over again.
No work … out of work … sorry ….
So,  we move on to the places where
there are “Help Wanted” signs in fields
and factories. And we get the jobs – we
get the money – we build the roads and
we build the buildings – we make the beds
and we wash the dishes – and then we
move on till the next place. Some of us
make it; some of us don’t. So, we drift
into shame and stereotypes and sadness.
Bullies and politicians – make fun of us –
get their votes and make us their jokes.
And few us remember this was our story
way back when – when we were young  
and when someone helped us up the ladder.
