It takes two things for employment
21 July 2015
REILLY KANAMON
A paper with a college stamp
A bachelor’s degree
Attractive curriculum vitae,
Yet it is not enough for a corporate job
Although he is a Papua New Guinean by birth
He needs two more things to qualify
A wantok in the office or bel kol money
No wantok, no bel kol money
And Petrus is a uni graduate and full time street youth
Andrew comes along
No college papers, no reference
A handshake under the table is enough for a job
He is employed, he is off the street
Save pes and bel kol money was all it required
An interview with a handshake under the table
Behind closed door, a dead conscience at work
Now we have an asset on the street
And garbage in the office
All that follows are pests to feed on the garbage.
Makes my blood boil! Truth converyed succintly in a handful of lines. Thanks Reilly.
