"NO (REAL) BREAK FOR YOU NOW"

No break for you now,

‘though it seems unfair somehow

You have to keep on working,

no matter how exhausting

Others with less or zero effort

seem to earn more

including those open doors

lots on silver platters

For you, no break

It doesn’t matter your heart aches

Hunger can drive you crazy

Anger might turn you into a killing spree

Somebody’s taken away your rights

You’ve had it with the same old fight

They’ve moved on with something new

as if they’ve never harmed you

It doesn’t matter

No, not anymore

Perhaps they’ve been right about being (too) nice

The repay is often cold as ice

Why put up with too many lies?

So, there’s no break for you now

It doesn’t matter you’re sick

Who really gives a damn about you?

Sometimes, hopefully not too damn often,

a cry for help gets ignored

So what’s the bloody point?
