The Tiny Positive Voice

 In a high unemployment side of the town

Out of work and depressed and financially down

The Goddess of luck she is not on his side

And he even does entertain thoughts of suicide

Since he feels any hope for times better from him has gone

But a tiny voice in him urges him to go on

That better times of him may be ahead

And there is no future for one who is dead

Every day for a new job start he does apply

Without any success though hard he does try

In a high unemployment job market employers can pick and choose

And for one to win a job start many do have to lose

Not much hope of times better for one on the dole

In his early twenties and in a financial hole

But the tiny positive voice in him with his worries gives him the strength to cope

And of better days for him a glimmer of hope.
