If You Break Your Word…

I watched a horror movie
yesterday.

I don’t like horror movies.
At all.

But I told a loved one
if he couldn’t find anyone else
to watch it with him,
I’d go with him.

He couldn’t find anyone else
to watch it with him.
I went with him.

Because I gave him my word
and if I ‘changed my mind’,
he’d rightly know
my word was worthless.

I value his trust.
I watched the horror movie
(with my eyes partially covered
the entire time).

If you break your word,
your vows or your promises,
you also break trust.
FOREVER.

Remember that.

Tell Me The Truth

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.
