Live With It

snafu's
cluster fucks
and middle management

ubiquitous throughout history

so, why are we so surprised
(then indignant)
when things go wrong

most of us strive and rise
eventually
to a level of incompentency ourselves
probably causing as much
of the crap as we recieve

yet, our idignation persists
when anything interrupts our personal plans

I'm at a point in my life
where I am more surprised
when things go right

thanks for the attestation.
I always hope that some can relate to what I write
It's like a sanity check..that I haven't totally lost my mind

appreciate your thoughts,

to the point. No hidden meanings here! You would be amazed at how few people know what SNAFU stands for, O guiding light of our existences. nice irony.

I would consider a different title...poem is about you, living with it , not us who have to learn to live with it.
