There’s a debate
amongst scientists
about whether or not
they should tell people
the doomtastic truth
regarding what is happening
and what will soon happen.
I want the truth.
If I wanted to hear
placating lies,
I’d talk to a politician.
I reach out to experts
because I want to hear
their informed and honest opinions.
Especially since I plan
to verify those opinions
with my own observations.
We know the climate
and healthcare
and other areas are f*cked.
We have eyes and ears.
We can see that.
Don’t patronize us
with lies.
Tell us the truth.
