Retrenchment
For those who have lost their jobs,
No flash names will make it right...
They may call it redundancy,
Retrenchment, to be polite..
The fact is that you've got the sack,
And your future is unclear...
You need to take a breath,
And don’t give in to fear...
Don’t question your ability,
Or why they picked you first...
Many things will go through your mind,
Always thinking of the worst...
Just try and stay positive,
More jobs are on their way...
Take a little time out my friend,
Or have a holiday...
Stress can be a bad thing,
As it eats you inside out...
That’s why you need to speak with friends,
If there’s ever any doubt...
Some people take their lives,
As they are alone and just can’t cope...
So keep an eye on all your mates,
You can offer them some hope...
So chin up and stay focused,
We are thinking of you all...
As that day will come soon enough,
You get that welcome call.
