Christine Phillips Poet Dramatic Verse

Salutation

The economy is falling to the ground, and the drills cannot be found;
The economy is running in the pit, and the pit is full of s**t. how did it get
to this with all the expertise and profit?
 You have gone off the path and have left the people to scramble in the dark.
Negotiations are at a stand-still, and you say that you are doing “heavens will”

With all the help that you have got the economy walking around without shoes or socks
You have left the nation to fret, yet you say that you are doing your outmost best.
You have passed through the avenue of time, and your popularity has fallen off the line.
What is your next move when you have lost your only pair of shoes?

The trees are shaking in the ground, and the wilderness is spinning around
You have run out of solutions despite your heartfelt ambition
There is one thing that you can do to turn this thing around is to accept wartime defeat
And the journey will instantly complete, 
And if that doesn’t work you have to continue digging up the dirt 

The negotiation game is lost for you have upset the boss, 
so, form an emergency negotiation team to uphold the organization’s dream
you cannot grow yourself out of it you must make solid profit.

You cannot shift from game to game; it is going to drives the people insane
You must keep the goal in mind even when you are falling off the line.

Change the direction when you stumble on the bloc but keep the goal intact to get the economy back on track. The Pandora box is opened everywhere, and the music is flying in the air. Greeting and salutation to you, keep your focus and your goals and objects will come to life and redeem the challenge and sacrifice.

Everyone is feeling the squeeze, and some people are very stingy and mean 
They don’t know what to do when they are walking around without shoe
 Their children cannot go to school for there is no money to buy their shoe,
unemployment is at an all-time high, and inflation is towering to the sky
this is the reality of some home while you are gallivanting on the throne
you have got to get it right before for the universe is full of life.
Greeting and salutation to you 
 I am convinced that my childhood dreams will come true
So do what you have to do!

Alison A Smith August 23, 2026 at 7:23 PM A powerful, urgent piece of social and economic protest. Its driving rhyme, repetition, and direct address create the feel of a public warning or spoken-word salutation to those in authority. Vivid images—people without shoes, children unable to attend school, a nation scrambling in darkness—give the economic concerns real human weight. The closing note of conviction and childhood dreams brings needed hope to an otherwise stark and impassioned call for responsibility.
