American Disability Act

American Disability Act

I never
Felt so
Violated
As I did
The other
Day
At work

Part of
My job
Requires
Me to
Maneuver 
A certain
Tool
That the
Series
The company 
Has
is made
For
Right handed
Operators

Left handed
Operators 
Can still
maneuver 
The tool
But it 
Requires
Some
Coordination 

I suffer from
Dyspraxia 
" Hand and Eye 
Coordination 
Disability".
I cannot
Operate this
Tool
Without 
A great
Deal
Of practice

Tuesday
I was called
In a meeting
with
4 senior supervisors 
I was chastised 
For an
Hour
My supervisor 
Sat quietly
Embarrassed 
For me
knowing
this
Treatment 
Was just
Not
Right

Two master's 
Degrees

In the past
I had
60 officers
under my
Command

I have 
Saved
40 inmates
In a fire

But Today
Because 
I am having
Problems
Dropping
A magazine
From
A weapon
Designed 
For right 
Handed
Users

I was told
I am
Incompetent 

Yes
I know.what
Discrimination 
Is

Never felt
So
Humiliated......
