Litter Goes Here

Rating: 5.0


Oh! What a strange place at last I found?
Really it's stinking because the human trash.
But it's little better than some other places.
I brush up my brief resume and thought
If I get a position here somehow
At least I could have survived for sometimes.
They might have read my complicated mind;
'Sorry, this is a place for Machinery only
And Manpower is not necessary.'
'I believe that I too a machine some kind dear,
They use me when they need and chase me when disliked.'

* To my Persian Boss who firmly believes that one plus one is eleven?

Searching for work can be most demeaning. You share your frustration without sentimentality and with a pen dipped in irony, Nimal. I love your footnote, especially. May your struggling yield some results soon. I wish you well from Australia. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
