Poverty Reflections

In the chronicles of my life, three years have flown, Since I dwelt in poverty, in a realm so lone. A job, not the best, yet sustenance it bore, On my table, it laid provisions galore.

A wage that failed to mirror my true merit, But the toil was light, so why fret and inherit Worry or anger, rejection's bitter kiss, For I, in destitution, could not dismiss.

Honest admission, I was dirt poor, With pockets bare, life's burdens to endure. Recall the first month, three years in the past, No shoes adorned my feet, a barefoot cast.

Tattered soles, akin to walking free, In shoes so worn, no grace could they decree. Two trousers, a pair, washed once a week, A pungent scent, my wardrobe's mystique.

A colleague intervened, air freshener in hand, To combat the odor that my garments command. Embarrassment gripped as the smelly girl I became, Not by choice, poverty the culprit to blame.

A new job emerged, but rags clung tight, Yet not due to destitution, a different fight. Choice led me to save, not for lavish attire, But to safeguard against a future's dire mire.

In the present, uncertainty clouds the sky, As the company's winds of change draw nigh. A restructuring storm, automation's embrace, Artificial intelligence, altering the workplace.

My boss declared, to my team lead's dismay, Automation would seize our work array. Dust off your CVs, the lead proclaimed, A retrenchment looms, the future unnamed.

Do I feel remorse? Nay, it eludes my soul, No attachment binds me to this job's toll. A stepping stone in times of need, A chapter closed, yet gratitude I concede.

In the echo of change, a tale is spun, Of trials faced, and battles won. A job's transient solace, a fleeting stay, Yet lessons learned, I carry away.
