The title, Valley of Unrest, is Edgar Allan Poe's poem He inspires me. Edgar suffered from Chronic Depression.

Free Verse about our country's president's failure to govern our country. America is headed to an economic crash, and people without medical care and possible homelessness for many people who depend on their SSI or SSDI to survive.

The point of view is that of a disabled woman, Dalia, who depends on medication and medical treatment to stay alive. In two weeks, she, and many others, will find out if Elon's Doge will cut-off their social security checks, delate them, or decrease that amount. Also, there will be cuts to Medicaid, the medical care that millions depend on. Elon Musk has access to our personal information, and with that they can manipulate SSI checks. With a lack of income and medical care, she could die. Do you think Trump and Elon Musk will take responsibility for what is to come? The cost of food and other necessities is increasing and the stock market is crashing. The tariff wars are going to throw us into a recession.

Thank you,

Gypsy
