Outlook, Poverty

Location

Nobody should have to live like this:

Working three part-time jobs trying to get ahead;

Struggling non-stop trying to make a living;

No time for anything except work and bed!

Many may think that working so hard is kind a hip,

But with this constant routine time after time...

The poor man in many ways is getting jipped!

The greed of the rich is killing the needy!

No one really truely wants to be needy,

The real choice comes in with the way of the greedy!

I'm so tire I may as well go straight to bed.

Bossman is working the poor little man dead!!!

My check is so small I can barely see it

A pay raise is meaningless if it can only

Be received in the cementery!

The greedy has a choice to keep the needy, needy or to share the wealth!

The needy doesn't have much of a choice but to try to make it. 

Too many companies will only employ their workers part time with an a minimum

wage hourly rate of pay.  In this case, the worker has no benefits.  The workers are

forced to work at other jobs just to get by.
