Finished this poem the other day and now I’m posting it here. Another vent poem but as opposed to my last poem venting about the state of the world this is venting about more personal problems. Mainly work ones because I’ve been dealing with a whole mess of a situation at work that’s been going on since about the middle of December. This whole situation has lead to some serious changes at my job and that’s taken a good amount of my focus and has caused me real stress. Took me a while to put it into words in a way I was satisfied with and that’s why this poem took a while but I’m glad I’m done with it.

**In Between The Chasm Of Lead and Leadership** &nbsp;  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **By: A.X. Bueno** &nbsp;  
  
Nothing is quite the same as before&nbsp;  
They have made a chasm from what was once a door&nbsp;  
An emptiness that spans a good distance that they say they’ll fill&nbsp;  
And they leave you guessing every day and every week on whether they will&nbsp;  
They make up excuses and give such dubious info and reasons on why it’s still there&nbsp;  
Concerned at first but by now you’ve run out of energy with which to care&nbsp;&nbsp;  
For it’s been more weeks than several and you’re doing just fine  
Managing practically as well as you did previously as they attempt to malign&nbsp;  
Trying to point out flaws and cracks that supposedly surround this hole  
And their micromanaging is taking an exhaustive toll  
For this hole is mainly their shortsighted faults that they should have fixed by now&nbsp;  
But they don’t have to take blame or give explanations or address how&nbsp;  
How exactly they could plan all of this out so very poor&nbsp;  
Unwilling to transparently discuss Struggling with the concept to give a little more&nbsp;  
Whether that’s information or money they clearly didn’t expect much fuss&nbsp;  
But you know your and your team’s worth, far from superfluous&nbsp;  
They can try and rely on old tactics and play their petty games over this hole&nbsp;  
But you know what they’re doing and sooner or later they’ll pay the toll&nbsp;  
For this hole is from their own devices made&nbsp;  
And the build up of what is owed typically ends up being paid&nbsp;  
Maybe then at least one of you can fill in this chasm using foundations already well laid
