Modern day stress is taking its toll,
If you are in work or on the dole.
Insecure jobs and very low wages,
Affecting men and women of all ages.

Migraine, heartburn and pains in the chest,
Symptoms of working long hours without rest.
Heart attacks, cancer and suicides are rife,
All because of the stresses of life.

Adultery and greed is the name of the game,
Now married life will never be the same.
Divorce now common, families struggling to cope,
Unemployed teenagers are turning to dope.

Polluted air is weakening our resistance,
Life’s no longer an easy existence.
For the weak it’s a struggle to survive
Their will to live, keeping them alive.

Everyday you hear of violent crimes,
I’m afraid it’s a sign of the times.
To-days society is in a right old mess,
It’s no wonder we suffer from Modern Day Stress!
