The elderly
So we are elderly my wife and , but not helpless
she is good at running shops and I could do any job
like swiping the floor in a bar and washing glasses.
Our joint pension is small we never reached
the elevated rank of executives., yet we worked and
were told we were good people for the state.
We are often rejected because the we are too  old.
We do not ask for much just a bit of dignity we can
be of help more years, but lately we have the feeling
of being surplus, the sooner we are dead the better.
We were not blessed by children can’t rest on laurel.
Just give us a job and the feeling of being needed-
