Unemployed Petition
Dear Saint of desperate causes
Jude the Apostle thee
I don’t know what to do next
Please intercede to God for me
I know what it’s like to suffer
Being unemployed two years
College loans are now due
I am at the point of tears
But I haven’t given up
Hourly work keeping me afloat
Maybe it will happen tomorrow
A comforting security coat
