grandfathering

grandfathering

Superior says it will roll back
the measures agreed to earlier
and I feel a mixture
of rage and despair

nothing will change if we don’t change
if our investment in the future doesn’t change
if our willingness to live differently doesn’t change
if we don’t learn from our mistakes

we’re doomed
(we’re probably doomed anyway
but then we’ll be indefensibly doomed)
