The confusion and folly of today’s workforce.

Underemployed and muzzled
Body of work questioned
Yet even the answers give no clear response
Just another drone relegated to pushing a shopping cart down a sidewalk
Misprisoned loyalty, leading to nationwide confusion
Fallen prey to slick mountebanks
They know how to get rescued from the ditches they dig for themselves
All it takes for them is the appropriate cry for help
Vilifying oneself for advocating the unethical has become predictable
The labor ranks thinning while the holes in the ground multiply
Today we only know where the bodies once were

    Hey you.

    This is good…an appropriate description of the marketplace of the 2000s. Sad really. I thought for a millisecond that Obama would put a stop to the overspending. But then, “Oh yeah, he’s a democrat.” lol Those who try (like my ex-husband-who is/was a mortgage broker) to change their lives now are in for a helluva treat when they hit the beat. He has a business degree from UF, and is doing construction when he can find it because there just aren’t any jobs.

    Impressive work, as always.

    Cris~
