WORKING BARACKWARDS
\nWhom does he hope he is hooking
\nWhen he claims our economy\u2019s cooking?
\nAre more people employed
\nOr just lost in the void
\n\u2019Cause they simply have given up looking?<\/p>\n

From the archive:<\/em><\/p>\n

LILIES
\nWithout work or an income instead,
\nThere\u2019s no way to provide daily bread,
\nUnless friends in high places
\nSupply manna and graces
\nTo keep you and your family fed.
\n(2010)<\/small><\/p>\n

GRADUATION DAZE
\nThere once was a student named Bob
\nWho stood out from the mortarboard mob;
\nNow he\u2019s got his diploma,
\nBut he\u2019s caught in a coma
\n\u2019Cause he can\u2019t find a well-paying job.
\n(2009)<\/small><\/p>\n

Last week\u2019s verse:<\/em><\/p>\n

REVOLTING DEVELOPMENT
\nRevolution\u2019s a natural desire
\nWhen we lack what our natures require,
\nBut it loses its glow
\nWhen oppressed people go
\nFrom the frying pan into the fire.<\/p>\n
