What goes UP must come down.
how do you want to land,
purposefully or chaotically;
proud and able to bend,
or broken in shards of the
opaque glass hiding the truth?
Are the planes crashing all over
a warning to America,
a symbol of the crash-and-burn policies?
Is the universe nudging,
giving hints to be attentive
to use caution
prepare
Follow the money, and look at the broken spokes.
Who breaks the spokes on a bike they are riding?
Only someone who has more bikes
they who don’t fix, but instead toss out.
Follow the money
diggety-doge dollars are unlimited
so your purchase power can
influence those who enjoy and like to break our spokes,
all the groups who care nothing for others,
but only money and power
Take back your power.

Speak on it! 🗣️ Love it! 💪🏾
Very good story you’re right follow the money .
Yes, the spokes are broken by those who have more bikes. Love that line. Well done.
A poem we needed!! Preach, Andrea! Thank you for writing this! 💓🌟
"Who breaks the spokes on a bike they are riding? Only someone who has more bikes" Those lines are soooo true!
A sad situation, but very well expressed. Money has to be the root of all evil and we have become such a disposable society.
Great analogy, Andrea.
Chaos and lack of integrity reign through major money. Great writing
Indeed - follow the money. What a bloody mess. This was such a relevant poem. Well done.
Those lines on who breaks spokes are a perfect distillation of everything going on
Very powerful, Andi. I can’t believe what is happening to America can be true. It’s like a nightmare I’m hoping to wake up from.
