Silence
shameful silence
So what now?
Should I, or should I not?
Is it true? W?H?A?T? is true?
No truth ever passed from those lips.
Empty promises, should be scorned - and then it’s too late.
short, short, shortest timeframe
Blame will be pushed off, surely
As it all has been

How to know what is real in Constant Chaos
Is the Conundrum, the Dilemma
Question everything
Thoughts running through their heads
As they make a life-altering decision
NO answer is the right one
Stress overcomes their calm, feeds the fear
SIGN IT! it's your best option
Is it?
Stay home, get paid, take a vacation
storm the offices, create more chaos, pile it high
KIDS not vetted, poking into personal data
where is the law and order now, hmmm
when it touches one of those allowing this,
there will outcry, but until then, the golden age
is birthing, a world of grabbing with no empathy
UNTIL
it touches one of them and they will turn
only to face the wounded they created, now apathetic
>>>>>>>
There is no way but to walk through the fire
Skip through the fire, sing through the fire
We will be at the other end, dousing the flames.
Resist.
Note: For U.S. Federal workers caught in chaos.

This was clever, there are so many powerful lines. Profound work, Andrea! I'm sure a lot of people can relate.
Well written…. Sounds like a hideous situation.
So well captured! Sakes alive Andrea, this is a powerful, unstoppable torrent with a complimentary itinerary included!
Thanks so much, Cathy. There are many who applaud him but Elon was not elected. It they want to evaluate the government, there are better ways to do it. Wrecking balls without thoughtful review of all lines connecting doesn’t make sense. Putting hackers into our treasury is unconscionable and in my opinion, not what MAGA voters expected but maybe so. IDK, and don’t care, it is wrong to run amuck with private info, coming from someone who was responsible for it in my job.
It's a nut house of absolute madness. And you covered it perfectly. Well done, once again.
Feels like a tsunami of power trips leaving destruction when the water recedes. We were warned. Poetically written no pun intended.
I can't imagine being caught in the system right now. Scary. Great poem.
My heart goes out to them. Loved your poem!
Life can be so confusing, and finding the truth is never easy. But I love the message of pushing through the fire!
It has to be a very unsettling time to be a federal worker.

one day at a time...we need to take it one day at a time

I love how you help us think more and dig deeper! Please keep it up!
Time flew by when I read your poem! Love it!
Coming through chaos takes a whole lot of resilience. We've all felt like this at some point, and your poem captures that well, Andrea.
