Story Behind the 3 Posted Poems (Part 1)

I decided to post poems in my blog last week b/c I’ve been pretty sick and didn’t feel like writing. I wrote the 3 poems shortly after I quit the police department. So now, here is the as- brief-as-I-can-make-it-story of why I no longer work there: Basically I had two very nasty supervisors who really did not like me. For example, one of them would give me tasks to do for the day and then when supervisor #2 would ask why I did things that way, I would say I was told to. #1 Would then lie and say she never told me to do so. This happened several times a week. Also, #1 turned all the other girls in the office that used to be my friends against me. I would go all day w/ no one talking to me, even when I tried to talk to them (with the exception of one lady). I was, essentially, the pariah. (This is just a small part of the hell I went through.)
I don’t entirely know why they turned on me. I believe it started when I took over #1’s old position as crime analyst when she became the supervisor. I was highly complimented by the chief of police and others in authority on my excellent job. My suspicion is she could not handle the attention I got and jealousy is what turned her against me. For one thing, we had been pretty good friends before then. Also, I fully believe in Ephesians 6:10-18 and that I was facing an all out spiritual war with #1 and #2. Especially since #1 is into witch doctors and psychics and such.
Eventually it came to where they wanted me gone so badly that they created a false evaluation of my work and placed me on 6 months probation. However, I chose to fight back and cited religious discrimination as a factor in them trying to force me out the door. That only made things worse for me. (To be continued…)
