Give Workers A Go Poem by Ken e Hall

Give Workers A Go

Rating: 5.0


They say,
We gotta make a buck the profit line is falling
We can go with the flow Asia is calling
This factory is going to the dogs
But what about the 3000 staff losing their jobs

Tough titties Australia costs are over the top
China will do it for $1.50 till they drop
Nothing could be finer than
To have it made in China

We can sell T shirts cheaper than St Vincent de Paul
What! This cheaper than madness is drowning us all
The whole world is sending China their work
Making the workers feel like a jerk

Let’s give all the guys their jobs back
Put the prices as should be not I’m all right Jack
All the money saved will just cover the dole
And leave the country with an aimless goal

What the hell is wrong with made in Australia
Their flag will be like a dried out old dahlia
Buy Australian...or the U S of A buys their own, etc etc,
Just save the workers their lifeline jobs that have blown

It’s an Ozzy way to look into their hands to say those blisters are mine
We have to wake up,
Or all we will have is sunshine!

Since labour is cheap in China, everyone prefers to buy cheap stuff made in China consequently leading to the closing down of factories and throwing hundreds of workers out of employment in many other countries... This in long run will drain the economy of many countries especially Australia and lead to a situation when more and more people will have to depend solely on dole! I can sense your anxiety in this poem! ! A great write! !
