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

TeflonD

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.
