Like a snake slithering through the streets of the city’s business district, unemployment lines filled with people of all shapes, sizes, and colors are dressed in what was now considered their finest clothes to sell themselves in hopes of being chosen for a job, if any. Black suits, ties, blazers, slacks, dress shoes, briefcases, and fake smiles cover the bodies of the people who fill the city street sidewalks like an oil spill contaminating the area with trepidation, concern, depression, sorrow, and very little if any, hope. Like cattle entering a slaughterhouse, the cattle are guided what to them could mean salvation, or death, as they walk a few steps and wait, walk a few steps, and wait, with their resumes in hand, as they slowly make their way to the interview room in hopes that they will be chosen.
