The Greed Of Those Bosses Poem by suzan gumush

The Greed Of Those Bosses

Rating: 5.0


I give no clarity
To unify with certain members of my family
From the crack of dawn
While I'm still in a yawn
I get up and get myself ready for work
A lone parent with two children to feed
I go along and add to the bosses greed
He sets my tasks
For long hours it does last
Worn and used for his labour
At the end of the day
My earnings I can't savour
Sending me home with little
I can't get by on this brittle
So my children still starve
While my bread can't be halved
Tis a shameful meal
When I'm not given much of a deal
While the boss goes home
And knows he still can laugh

Telling it like it is. I went through it myself with 2 small boys although it has been several years, I know it wears you out. Very Nice Linda

Yer just a whining lefty Suzan and probably a Communist. Ask yourself what would the boss do if he was in your place. He'd send those 2 kids out to work wouldn't he or sell them for body parts. Your just not thinking like an entrepreneur. Its yer own fault so stop whinging.

This speaks a great deal of truth just not for you but in many other people's lives as well. Great Job! May you receive the blessings you need. Scott
