Unemployed Poem by Konjit Berhane

Unemployed

Rating: 4.9


Bored and unemployed in my

Bed

My left hand used as a pillow under my

Head

My expensive Rolex watch clicking

Second after second

Making its perfect loud sound sharp as a

Blade

But me unmoved, conscious and drunk my eyes

Red

Just want to cease life, want my heart (batteries)

Dead
