Most people don’t want to
be warned
about issues or danger.
They don’t like being warned
and they hate the warner
for warning them.
I know this
and I’ve reached
the stage of my life
where I keep my warnings
to myself
…mostly.
As long as it doesn’t
directly impact me,
I let people
do dumbness.
If I warn you,
it means I care about you.
It means I’m willing
to risk
the hate
so you aren’t harmed.
View warnings
as an expression of caring.
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.
