Job Market Poem by Naga Vamshidhar Ratakonda

'Employment' is,
Buying out- 'Loyalty,
Hard and Smart Works,
Ideas & Innovations,
And Freedom' - by Paying,
A Fraction of ROI Earned,
On the Employee 'Scape Goat';

'Un-Employment' is,
Getting all the Above,
For free like a 'Jack Pot',
Without investing a Single Buck,
On the Job Seeker Sheep,
Extending Bonded Slavery,
With Great Slogans like,
'Ask not what your Country can do for you,
Ask what you can do for your Country.';

'Self-Employment' is a,
Mere & Meticulous Compromise,
For Temporary gains,
To get Sold out in the Long Run,
Or Land up again either in,
Employment or Un-employment;
A Suicide sort of Thing,
To take re-birth for past sins;

'Lay-off' is a,
Discrimination Strategy,
To show the Exit Door,
For those not your -
'Kith & Kin,
Caste, Creed, Region,
Religion, Creed, Sect,
Colour, Type etc',
Which otherwise not possible,
Owing to 'Diversity Inclusion';
Appraisal an 'Alibi'!

'Employing' is a,
Commodity sort of trading,
Skilled Employee Skulls;
Barter system of Give & Take,
With Customers & Consumers,
Lobbying with Partners,
Tipping the Governments,
And Begging People to,
Fill one's own Pockets,
Pockets with holes ending,
Finally in Swiss Banks;

To Conclude 'Job Market' is,
A Vicious cycle of -
'Un-Employment', 'Self-Employment',
'Employment', 'Lay-off' & 'Employing',
Not necessarily in that Order!

This 'Vicious Cycle',
If Broken implies,
'The Retirement'!
