The Dismal Science
The Dismal Science
Too many bodies
too few jobs
high demand
short supply
Line up call
in the cold rain
peddling their skills
Trying to look desirable
like desperate whores
looking to score
a measly paycheck
They just want to work
they are not bums
they have worth too
they dream of becoming
one of
the
luckily employed
The line keeps growing
The trail grows cold
on the desperate wall
as the parade stalls
Disappointed faces
disperse into the gloom
Come back tomorrow
bring a better rap
None of us worker bees
qualify
as too big to fail
Just please don't bullshit me
about our improving economy

This is excellent. There's a reason this is happening. Have you looked at who's structured as the perceived up and coming rising Super Powers? If you pull out the globe, point east and everything looks red. I've not posted this as it's much too frightening for Americans to see. People going offshore for a reason. It's time to start burring money in coffee cans again. It's conomics man.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind words even though the subject is depressing...I just wish our government would stop blowing smoke up our ass about this false recovery
DeleteExcellent piece Steve.
ReplyDeleteTrue to the bone. I know what you mean. Our economy is far from improving and people keep spinning lies. There is no work anywhere and things are going in a downward spiral.. but who understands.
The way you weave your words amazes me every time!
Thanks Nada... I feel so bad for the young people who are leaving school with so few good jobs awaiting them
