Workforce

So they have decided, It's come right from the top, Governments reaction, My benefits should stop, They think that 2 years of grief is enough, But no matter how hard a couples enough, You've had a long spell of time to recharge, And to be part of a workforce so to give it large, To us you look normal, Your physically fit, No sign of a wheelchair it's time to commit, You have no excuses, We will give you a call, Your stories no different, It happens to us all, I call you today, After hours in fear, Feeling so anxious, And wiping a tear, My nerves are all shot, My grief is still strong, Caring for 3 years, And one day she's gone, But in that 3 years, I saw what cancer can do, Eat you inside out, As the tumour just grew, Losing your dignity, Morals and you, Losing body functions, What could I do, I lost my own battle, One I could not win from the start, Now you say I've got through this, You don't have a heart.
