Like Any Quota Doter Does

When I actively applied,
For that I know I am experienced!
I was deemed not qualified.
With a look from someone,
To kill my pride.

And since I'm not the kind,
To wonder 'why' I've been denied...
I cast that aside,
That which tries to prevent my stride.
In a blocking of my forward movement.
Few who knew that,
Know today that has been proven.

Folks are hired to cast dark shadows,
All over the place.
That's what they do!
And competent at it too.

Since I am not seeking assistance,
To live my life to make attempts!
I live my life making attempts to assist.
That's it!

That's what I do!

And 'if' someone decides I'm not qualified to do it...
I'm sure they've been assigned to do a job!
Like any quota doter does doing what they do.
I've been assigned to fulfill a mission.
There is more than a slight difference.

And to give precious time away,
To devote in discussion with those of small minds...
The vastness of the canvas
Is not my task to introduce.

I'm here to do!
Not argue in defense of my abilities to connect the dots!
