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.
