Francie Lynch - Blunt

I equivocate way too much.
This time, I want to be absolutely blunt.
Hoping whomever reads this has a moment
Of recognition, insight and complicity.
I would use the word epiphany,
But I want to be as blunt as
A dropped egg, a dirty diaper,
A rock, bird shit or lights and sirens;
Not like cryptocurrencies and 17th century tulips.
I hope to say something full of oomph.

"Don't fuck it up again.
It's sliding in that direction.
What business is it of ours
If Canada wants nuclear weapons,
Or Ireland, or North Korea.
Accept all issues of sovereignty,
Except genocide. Then get involved.
We could straighten Pisa if so desired.
The space program by itself should've given us
A hundred years of peace and behaving dicks.
We're not going to get another chance at this
For ten million years. That's a guess. A conservative guess.
I love how the past is history,
How the present makes history.
Tomorrows deserve history."\n\nFrancie Lynch
