The Workshop Wilderness : Sad Poetry

written by Poet : Paul McCann


 

 

There's a girl in the sheltered workshop

Who always does what she is told .

 

The supervisors stand over her

 And tell her to shut up and fold .

 

I thought to myself in these workshops

Its either their way or you're out ,

 

Its difficult to work with those

Who like to hear themselves scream and shout .

 

I said to the girl in the workshop

There are other places to work ,

 

Where people will respect who you are 

And you'll not be treated like dirt .

 

She was surprised and relieved to know

That there were other places there

 

Where being disabled meant you could work

As well as be treated fair .

 

The problem with some employers

Is that they go on a power trip ,

  

Abusing those in their care ,

And think that they can get away with it .
