into the crisis

into the crisis, invoking anti-terrorism
laws to freeze territorial assets,
exacerbating the chaos

as for how powerful impetuous acts,
have been responsible for the unfolding catastrophe,
everyone mentions the use of bad deeds

turning a brown eye blue,
no rivals, just equals and the Other,
there is never any resolution to the dilemma

photos of the event were picked up by the
Associated Press and carried widely with news
coverage reporting the meltdown,

there is light all around,
still darkness prevails,
the coffer is a leaking medulla oblongata

thrusting, doggedly, into the spotlight
with painstaking force,
involved in a committee organizing
demonstrations and protests,
spoken widely at rallies,
demanding the resignation of the current regime

a staged symbolic execution of a Teddy bear,
a provocation that caused some consternation
among members of the audience,
feeling the need to break up the rigid,
anxious, intolerable state of affairs
