To Get Done And With Competence

I don't intend to offend when I begin, To write... It just happens, Within my scope of a life I define... From my point of view. And, Hey... This point of view is mine! Today... I am not selling congeniality. Nor am I embittered with that kind of... Mood swinging attitude, Like some say I am since I do walk, As if I've got swagger. And not pulling myself, Through a field of molasses. You know... Like the ones who humble themselves, To be accepted while filling out a job application. With their bowed heads and upturned eyes? And their smile-on-cue demeanors. I am respectful not a clown! And I do not 'yes' my way through conversations. If I have an opinion... I might express it 'If' I am challenged, To apply my experience and intelligence... When communicating a seriousness left, I wish to leave. Although I have had my share of injustices. Some blatant and some masked as if... I am to understand my minority status, As a declared human being. And people who approach me that way, Are left learning a few lessons. 'The world is a classroom.' Whenever there is a need to be taught, A few things about life. Since I do enjoy delivering... Some concepts of my own. I don't often 'trip' like that! And it does offend those who believe, I should know my place! And their place? Not to get in my way... If I am expected to perform a task, To get done and with competence. Which to 'them' and those like them... Is another thing that offends.
