Future?
Oppression in the building, persecution in the air,
Staff brutal autocrats, just doing their jobsworths,
Jobseekers, unemployed, freeloaders, scroungers,
Underclass, not really human,
Identified by a number with a sneer,
Looked past or through, not really here,
Despair, stagnation, fear fill the air,
A future? That isn’t found here.
This is such a beautiful piece, and simple. I like it very much. How i have not written in a long time but this "Future?" reminded me of why i loving writing and also how taking in a moment to write is like a fresh breathe of air. Well done.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I've struggled to write during the pandemic, my creative energies going into my work as a carer. Thank you again. Xx
