Hold tight but not too tightA Poem by {A}shley {B}lack @-;-A poem about management crisisHold It Tight But Not Too Tight Continuing this long day of work Imperfections do arise They think because I’m in charge I’m open to compromise “You were one of us” A factual excuse But now the weight is on my shoulders Your review I must dispute The manager walks in notices laziness in the ranks expect my name to be called and not receiving thanks “Ashley to the Managers office” Fears ignited, anger rises at the service from my friends I can’t even excuse their behaviour I hope they make amends “Listen here black” the voice bellows from his chair your idiotic , not suitable , I really do despair My anger rises and I see red I try to talk him down “but sir they won’t listen I’m just a decorated clown” he stands this rotund mass of sweat upon me places a hand “your not the man I thought you were YOUR FIRED UNDERSTAND!” With those words I can’t contain the feelings deep inside The managers final resting place is where we now reside reaching ,gripping the throat I squeeze until he’s blue Not holding too tightly though his suffocated scream I pursue “heeeeeellllp” there it is angelic sounds to my ears Look into his piercing eyes my smile tempts his fears My strangulation, suffocating , sufficing for his words Relinquishing my duties for the ignorance of the herds Spluttering and gasping my vice like grip meets no end Last memories, nail in the coffin, my incarceration soon to spend But then the alarm goes off as I awaken from my slumber How frequently I kill my boss my mind does often wonder © 2011 {A}shley {B}lack @-;-Author's Note
