No Need To Even Stay Angry

Too damn late to prevent

Too far gone to save

Too expensive to restore

Too certain for any further concern

No stopping what’s already done

No need to harbor those stale regrets

No more fingerpointing in infinite loops

No turning back - We’re already there

It’s a done deal, so we need to move forward

It’s not a debate we must have anymore

It’s time to adapt without doubts and/or fears

It’s over now and those days are not coming back

There’s no more hurry to fight this problem

There’s no longer a point to talking costly prevention

There’s no reason to keep stalling for more study

There’s no need to even stay angry

The time has passed

The hour is over

The tipping point lies behind us

The inaction was quite decisive, once again

Now events have ended all debate

Now that it’s over, we must move on

Now we can just react without thinking to save our families

Now our children won’t have to decide

That issue is far behind us now

That argument timed out long ago

That fervor is no longer heated

That controversy has been laid to rest

Any recrimination is now quite futile

Any new tears now merely blind us

Any more time spent is simply wasted

Any regrets now will only slow us down

We were mostly unable to try to stop it

We can’t act on that anymore

We must begin to heal and get on

We shall, however, remain quite proactive, nonetheless
