I
Am standing
And I
Know
This path
Is the way to the volcano
And still
Brick
After brick
Gets placed
And
One
By
One
We
March on
Shouting
In every
Direction
But
Never
Dropping
A brick

Some shall cry
But it's no great loss
Some may cheer
But there are no victories
Just a spotlight
On our worst traits
And when everyone is done
pointing fingers
We are all worse for wear
As our seams get pulled
And our threads
Unravel
There is nothing great here

Is it the fly
You aim to be
Or only a bull
Surround by porcelain
You are no elephant
And no matter how many cents
You pay
The chatter
Is void
Of you

Asleep, alarms
of only neighbors and birds
A rising river
Flooding the banks
Running
We have to leave our food
It rises
Tripping
We have leave or blankets
It rises
We fall,
Broken
It rises
Those on the mountain
dare not help
They scold us
for being in the floods way

First everything is taken
The faults
Can fall from anywhere
But the holes they create
Are ripe
For what comes next
A savior (eye of)
Giving the most needed
For loyalty
That's all they
ask
Loyalty in money
Loyalty of flesh
Loyalty of violence
The loyalty to bury
Those who do not comply

Our humanness
Degrades under our own chaos
Our thoughts
Our awareness
Our conversation
Lands and stays on ourselves
Thousands gone in seconds
I see nothing of the aid
Nothing of the hope
Nothing of the compassion
That we are capable of
Only the fears
Of our own shadows

Bullies need worship
A war of words
Fought for prestige
Fought for power
A war in anger
Pride for the selfish
Pride that kills
No one wins
Innocent lose
Children lose

“You’re terminated because…?”
Fired federal employees are telling their stories—no deep state, just career public servants tossed aside.
DOGE’s mass firings aren’t about efficiency—they’re gutting expertise, wrecking lives, and calling it “reform.”
