LISTEN TO MY JOBLESS SONG
- by Rose Lu
-Tanslation By Mengwen
Silicon Valley .coms kicked off global gold rush
Little gold but piles of sand for many
Stocks waste papers and money bubbles
Fired in the second wave for inadequacy of English
Unemployment compensations ran out in eight months
Occasional interviews come and go
Written, oral, n’ interview tests all passed
Just the one who’s got the offer was not me
With experience and degrees but no jobs
Without a job where can I get the money
Without money how can I live my life
Tall business buildings stand one by one
Which elevator will take me
Where is my office desk
Organizations, companies, and firms big n’ small
Shuffle in front of my eyes
Which one has the gate open for me
Where is my rice bowl computer
Men don’t drop tears in front of their wives and children
Daughters won’t talk their problems over to their mothers
It’s hard already to seek living overseas
Not to mention when the job is gone
Rich wives’ spare money is
Enough to buy a few cars, if not an airplane
How the Poors can live without unemployment compensation
I don’t know much about politics
I don’t care Bush or Kerry, Whoever can give me a job
He will get my vote
Please listen to my unemployment song before you go vote
