“Speak when you are angry and you will make the best speech you will ever regret.” Ambrose Bierce
In Vain I wanted to tell the world, to shout that I so disagreed, but I could not find adequate words, instead, I plucked at what I had and forced them into lines like bullets on a bandolier awaiting a riddled body of consequences, in vain I fumed, my excited bluster jamming in the overheated barrel of my well intentioned cause celebre, a squib of argument, wilted, therefore, I refrain.
