Haiku for the Unemployed

A Haiku for the Suffering of the Jobless

S Gardner
Laid off ... Where are jobs?

Desperation ... Where is help?

No hope, comes despair.

Lazy? Druggies? NO!

Willing, able, long to work.

Children's stomachs growl

Shattered dreams - past, future gone

Hard to comprehend

********

Voices rising, pleas

Chill winds through tattered blankets

Election Draws Near.
