Moving Forward With This Decree

'Calm thee down,
Thy furrowed brows and faces.
Replaceth thy frowns,
With smiles to adorn.
And do this post haste.
In a quickened pace.
Laced with traces of greatfulness.

You harbor moody 'tudes.
Removeth them sooneth.
Or you will have something received,
Truly to broodeth.
As you seeketh a relief from grief.
Calm thee down,
Thy furrowed brows and faces.
We understand your needs and wishes.
And will implement a moving forward,
With this decree we believe succeeds.'

What is this?
Some kind of a joke?

No!
Unfortunately not.
That's the news broadcasting,
The changes ahead.
From the Department Of Commerce.

Why is he dressed like Paul Revere?

It's a different approach they are using,
In the hopes the people will listen.
To how severe the economic situation is.
With a turning of a clock back to a time,
People insist had more meaning for them.
