quiet chaos

quiet chaos




quiet chaos descends on the land

on the day after
the big election
a sense of quiet chaos
descended across the land.

The campaign has ended
The commercials have gone silent
Pundits debate
What does it all mean?

Both candidates
Claim they won
And the other candidate
Must have cheated.

The public feels
A big “Meh”
Saying to both sides

“Get over it.
Get a life.
The sun will rise again
The world is not ending.
And we will get through this
Whatever the hell this is.””

Good advice to us all
As we deal with the quiet chaos
That always follows
A hotly fought election.


Poem should be inspired by the prompt/image in some way
A minimum of 12 lines, no maximum
There are no form requirements
Your submission must be newly written for this week's prompt

Note: I am not stating my opinion in this poem. Plenty of time to do that, Many people including me are just glad it is finally almost over. And we will get through whatever happens. That is what humans do and have been doing since time began.
