Shock by Pat Garcia
Shock shook the earth.
At first, only tiny tremors,
Politicians had ignored them.
The media had made fun,
Expounding their ignorance.
But, the tremors became stronger.
—
What happened?
Where did we go wrong?
The ceiling is still in tact.
The glass didn’t shatter,
People can’t take a splitter as a souvenir,
As some did with the Berliner Wall in 1989.
—
What happened?
What went wrong?
Who can we blame?
For ignoring the cries of the Silent Majority.
—
Until December 9th, be safe.
Shalom aleichem,
Pat Garcia

Another powerful poem, Pat. Ironically, Trump heard the silent majority – so they elected him. Very scary stuff.

We may never know what went wrong. What I would like to know is what is going to happen. If this turns out good. I will be shocked and speechless. We can only prepare for the worst and hope for the best.

tremors – we HAVE to pay heed and not ignore. Thank you Pat. Reminds me of Simone Weil: ‘Attention is the purest and rarest form of generosity’. I’m not sure that’s the exact quote but words to that effect. …
