I Took These Words

9/17/2015

​I took these words from their EYES…

There was anger , there was frustration, and many of those eyes reek with disdain over how they were being treated, how they were being disrespected and dissected so that feeling good about their profession no longer enter their mind with joy…

I took these words from their lips, unspoken and spoken…

Words like tired of this sh…t, tired of being questioned, tired of getting no credit and no help while trying to do a very difficult job…..
​
I took these words from people with degrees, people without degrees who are fed up with constantly being attacked, fed up with being told their skills and work is not good enough…
​Too many faces filled with despair, filled with anxiety over the tactics being used to try and break them.

Tactics that are being driven by a Control Freak whose sole purpose seems to be is destroying self-esteem and arresting all their personal dreams…

I took these words from the clenched fist that wish they could strike a blow and erase their tormentors…Strike a blow and remove their tormentors out the vicinity and back into their hell hole…

Something has been unleashed and it has been constantly disturbing the peace…
Making so many walk around on egg shells, while someone is trying to make their life a living hell…

Praying has increased, patience is wearing thin, and many are seeking to abandoned ship before they totally lose it…
​
Staying strong is put to the test as the DEVIL continues to beat on his chest and leave the people looking like a car wreck…
