Minimum Wage
Some people work the best they can,
But then the check feels like a scam
Then the paychecks come in and you start to frown
Almost nothing now I feel like a clown
The wage you can pay gets abused
And we can’t make up what we lose
All we can do is accept our loss
And minimum wage is a line that is being crossed
This wage isn’t made for us to make a living
When they made this what were they believing
People tell us to get more knowledge
But I can’t make enough money for college
working for nothing is what it seems
The payment makes a good future nothing but dreams
Not only that, then comes tax
Takes too much and you can’t relax
rent comes in and takes a bunch
now I can barely afford my lunch
then bills come in and you might go into dept
now we work so hard we start to regret
