The Government is Nervous Jerrell Olbekson

The government is nervous. The brain is like the executive branch making decisions and commands. The spine is like the court, handling issues of crimes like reflexes. The nerves are like congress, making signals and sending more difficult things to the spine and brain. The government is nervous. Hasn’t gotten a break, it needs to slow down and handle issues it has before getting new ones. Just like our body needs to sleep. The government needs a break. Just like how we get weaker without a break so does the government. The Government needs a rest. The Government is nervous. Peripheral Neuropathy is like a spy in the Government. It makes the body weak like spies make the Government weak. It starts from damage to nerves outside the spine or brain. Like how spies start from failure to ensure they aren’t working for other countries. It cannot be cured, like how leaked information cannot be taken back, But it can be helped with antidepressants, pain medicine, or anti-seizure medicine, Just like the government can check for spies to help it.
