Where No One Works! Poem by Eric Cockrell

Where No One Works!

Rating: 3.5


hauling scrap metal,
junk...
old washers, dryers,

old beat up cars,
rusted down high octane
roads going nowhere.....

metallic flowers,
dying and dead,
never to bloom again...

hauling junk...
trading metal for milk,
bread, and potatoes...

in the land where no one works!

In England lack of work is getting that bad More and more people are getting into scrap metal, just to make a bit of a living. The fat cats are still getting fatter. A great poem.

I really think the title is very inviting to read. But so true, how severe would be the consequences if no one would work The poem makes us realise how blessed work is. Very good poem Eric.
