Moving Forward With This Decree Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

'Calm thee down,
Thy furrowed brows and faces.
Replaceth thy frowns,
With smiles to adorn.
And do this post haste.
In a quickened pace.
Laced with traces of greatfulness.

You harbor moody 'tudes.
Removeth them sooneth.
Or you will have something received,
Truly to broodeth.
As you seeketh a relief from grief.
Calm thee down,
Thy furrowed brows and faces.
We understand your needs and wishes.
And will implement a moving forward,
With this decree we believe succeeds.'

What is this?
Some kind of a joke?

No!
Unfortunately not.
That's the news broadcasting,
The changes ahead.
From the Department Of Commerce.

Why is he dressed like Paul Revere?

It's a different approach they are using,
In the hopes the people will listen.
To how severe the economic situation is.
With a turning of a clock back to a time,
People insist had more meaning for them.
