Entitlements to the Freeloader
A Kind Man's Lament
or paces back and forth
all day long
People see him pacing
and assume he is lazy
They rant and rave
He's abusing the system they say
Yet they do not know
his trouble
They assume he doesn't try
They assume he lies
to collect benefits
Others work hard
To earn their keep
He should be barred
Why should he
the benefits reap
They assume the problems this bum
should overcome
But he is no bum
nor is he scum
He is a man
with troubles at hand
that people refuse
to understand.
Not all have the ability
to rise above their lot.
Others unfairly
put them on the spot
We need more compassion
Not revenge with a passion
He needs our assistance
Not our blind resistance
to reality
In their ignorant mania
They cannot see
He has schizophrenia!
Some blatantly insist
that such things
do not exist.
