Help Wanted.
A sign in a window.
An ad in a paper.
An offer from a friend or relative.
Help Wanted, just in Time.

Too long without Work.
Bills and Depression are both building up.
I reply to all.
I sit at home and I wait for the call.
But for now, there is a quiet phone in the hall.
Help Wanted, but not for all.

Help Wanted.
I wish there were more.
People need dignity.
Don't we all?
A way to provide.
A way to excel.
A way to get out of your personal Hell.
Help Wanted, but not for all.

Help Wanted, heed our call.
The Military needs you.
The ads say it all.
With the T.V. looking for souls.
To replace the fallen, the wounded, fill the holes.
Help Wanted, but not for all.
