a door left wide open, perhaps a precipice.
step right in; leap heedlessly into
the dark abyss.
instead i demurred, chose the status quo,
and now we face the consequence, but how was i to know?
guarded portal closed, shut for all these years,
yet if it should swing wide again i’m bound to face my fears.
your progeny are ill behaved, i’ll say,
disrespectful to all but you;
the interest compounded throughout their lives steadily accrues.
or maybe i’ll just smile and nod, agree with all you say,
waiting there by an exit narrowed, and again, watch you walk away.

For all the reasons we should say what we want to there are at least an equal number of reasons why we say nothing. And live with the consequences. Damned if we do…..
