When do you think all this will end?
You’re asking me?
Little old me?
Your even entertaining the idea
of entertaining the idea
that I might somehow possibly
be equipped with the authority
the insight and the depth of intellect
to gaze into some crystal ball
and offer words of wisdom
on the meltdown of a system
predicated on your people’s martyrdom?
You are a friend indeed, my friend.
If I’m certain of one thing
It is that I’m with you
until the end
