I find myself,
In a situation.
Not of my making,
Or, creation.
Human beings,
Make mistakes.
Most understand this,
Other’s don’t partake.
Some fluff it off,
With a grain of salt.
Other’s point fingers,
Always find fault.
None of this,
Matters to me.
My assignment,
Seek a remedy.
Bring the news,
To whom that’s lost.
Time and money,
The actual cost.
When I do,
I prove my words.
Back them up,
Then move forward.
Next time can this,
Be avoided?
Understanding,
Is then afforded.
No jumping to,
False accusations.
A mature approach,
For all occasions.
Nonetheless,
There’s always those.
Just can’t get past,
On their face, their nose.
Yell and fuss,
Act like a kid.
Because of what,
Someone else did.
But, don’t go to them,
They yell at me.
“You’re the one,
Behind the catastrophe!”
I stand my ground,
Do my best,
Be sure to wear,
My bullet-proof vest.
Like a duck,
Let it roll off.
My skin will grow,
Like leather, so tough.
I don’t pull info,
From out of my armpit,
I deal with the facts,
And, don’t take any shit.

Standing up to be counted is best. A good read.

Cool poem
So kind WL. Thanks!
I'll forgive you the 's' word any day - in fact might include it in one of mine - but I'll struggle to compete with this fine write.
You are so great Michael! The S word seems to be quite commonplace now. But, I still have a little problem with it in the public sense. 🙂
Surely you don't s**t in public ?
Oh dear now I'm in your bad books but I just couldn't resist it.
