I pulled myself so hard
out from the mud, through all the deepest stuff
it required triple winching and fend off vehicle
crane, road closure, and police escort
for they did everything wrong
I had to get it sorted in time
before they claim it’s my fault
all the circumstances being not
in my power
they got themselves into this
looking for us later wriggling like snakes
our strenuous efforts to make it all right
though we often lack
the right people, the right resources
yet we are trying to make up for it
as fast and as best as we can when someone
decided too long ago
that our existence is tarnished
although it could be considered much better
on the other side of story
the one they had never looked into before
but dared to criticise
from a layman’s point of view
I doubt you’ve ever had such a rich spectrum so
stay satisfied with your own restricted view
if you’re so horribly comfortable with it
I won’t stay by your side
perhaps I’m weaker that way, but you know what?
my view is broader, deeper, more informed
and I don’t give a damn about the rest who never condone
