Beware those who serve
And protect your oppressors
They enjoy their work

Public Announcement Challenge Winners
For the Public Announcement Challenge, writers were asked to work inside voices built for control. These were notices, warnings, and updates meant to inform rather than confess. The strongest entries committed to that form and didn't break from it. Corporate memos, formal government alerts, and internal policy language were held consistently, allowing emotion, fear, grief, or humor to surface indirectly through pressure rather than declaration. The following poems recognize the voice of authority, and let human feeling slip through despite all its rules and restraint.

Every single word in this was perfectly placed, for a scathing and accurate critique. Honest and accurate poem.
Tragically, frighteningly relevant. Great work!
That last line was scary but it's the bitter truth. Loved your Senryu!
