Unemployment Poem by jafta maduna

Unemployment

Rating: 5.0


Nothing is painful as you
You make people suffer as they did during apartheid
Democracy gave us freedom and justice
However, we cannot enjoy them because of you
You make us suffer every day and turn us into slaves of our own

Because of you we engage into crime
Because of you we lost our brothers and sisters.
You turn us into monsters
and give us no prime but to creep one another

Our families are not happy because of you
Poverty is our worst enemy because of you
Hiv/aids is who we are because of you
Unemployment you the worst thing that could ever happen to a person
One of the sickest evil ever

You brought to us nothing but shame
You took away our dignity
and spit us like saliva.
You the secret that hide behind shadows
and a sniper behind the bushes.

The poem has got all the ingredients of a great poem. Unemployment is a big social evil which is a blot on the face of humanity. The poem has a universal appeal. Thanks.
