Distraught officer

Dismissed it confirmed

of what I had missed I thought

dejected I was

why was I rejected

willingly to serve I had been subjected

Obedience in me was injected

like trash I got ejected

without being fully digested

though I was hungrily ingested

when most denied being attested

the service was strongly detested

none listened to ideas I suggested

I had fallen for jest

believing I could find rest

free and safe in the nest

keeping for future my zest

I had passed the test

was permitted to be at the fest

never imagined anything lest

I felt so dumb

numb was my whole self

I could not feel my thumb

hunger got me to nibble a crumb

speech bereft me only could I mumble
