Your Ignorance
For The Vocal "Things You Canβt Say Out Loud" Challenge
Introduction
I do find challenges like this a little annoying, because they are likely to be filled with profanity-laden lines that will be given Top Stories and Challenge wins, but I will avoid them like the plague. I am fine with profanity in the right place, so I suppose the Wayne County song is perfect for this sonnet because it is full of the "F" word, so that is where all the swearing is in this.
I have worked for a few people and organisations like this, and was glad when I was out. I am sure some of you have too.
This is the aggressive entry, but there will be a gentler, melancholic entry to follow.
Your Ignorance
πΏπ‘β οΈπ€π₯π€π₯π€β οΈπ‘πΏ
You Know Your Shouted Ignorance
Carries More Weight Than My Knowledge
Your Lot Prides Its Incompetence
While I Learned Science In College
π₯π€π₯
You Say That You Know I Am Right
But You Shout, You're The One In Charge
You Always Have to Pick A Fight
When I Am Right, You Disregard
π₯π€π₯
Shouting Loud For You Is Enough
Then, When Things Go Wrong, You Blame Me
I Solve The Problem, You Say Tough
I Spell It Out But You Won't See

You Have The Money, Hold The Keys
When You Fall, It Won't Be With Me

It's not just the workplace anymore, it seems like it's everywhere.
Great sonnet, Mike Love the line "when you fall, it won't be with me"
That's telling them Mike! Good job.
Nicely done, Mikeydred!
All the credit and none of the blame. Some people can be so frustrating. Well said, my friend.
Woo. And this is why we WON'T say things aloud sometimes. An aggressive poem--no. But one that makes a point? Clearly.
