Forecast 2023!

 Forecast 2023!

I swear another age
Of this reason
Will see the end
Of us.

The soothsayers
Will be there
On the last night
Clutching a copy
Of Dead Certainty.

The proofs outweighing
The process they condemned.

While the arbiters
Of right and wrong
Tie
Their purse strings
Around our neck
On the promise 
Of a new order.
Witch hunting.

And all you can hope for
Is that they'll burn
Themselves out
And you don't get caught
On the wrong side.

Frank Murphy.
