PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Another hard slog
It never seems to end,
No one cares like we do,
Bastard Tricks and fixes
And I'm the one on the fence
Mending the broken bits
And well, never mind the politics
of self serving assholes,
Receivers of your assistance
Are no where to be found
in our dire hour of need.
Another contract written in blood sweat and tears
Laced with a thousand fears
We can't do this without calling in favours
Incredible how reluctant the pay back is to come
In fact it never did, what came instead
was a jealous and greedy raid!
Screwed a thousand times over
Charged double after we bent over!
You think the boss man would learn
Don't lick the arse that owes you favours,
They never are worth the unsavoury flavours
I am never going to see family the same way again
A relief now that our long days
of hard helping are about to suspend
Pay the fucking ferry man
Cause it'll be the death of us by the end.
And we have lost so much,
Twenty years we will never get back,
while they live in a mansion
Getting rich off our back.
Fuck you I ain't paying your half of the bills
Time for you to learn to go without
You feed and house your mother-in-law
She babysits your kids not ours peace out!
