No Benefit To Me Poem by Jennifer Birchall

Corrupt are those that benefit themself
Betide those a story you can not comprehend
Do you think this is how I want my life to be
A sponger scrounger my age of no benefit to me
I only want what is due according to the rules
To help me live life just the same as you
Because at this very moment through no fault of my own
I am asking for a little help from the country I have grown
Yet I am stuck fighting a system
Trying to drag me down
Degrade myself by begging already on the ground
Please Just give me the chance to show
Please read my case through not just a no
Because
I actually need this money in order to survive
In this unfortunate situation I wish was a lie
