the curse of cassandra

a lawyer like a doctor

like cassandra

can look into the future

divine how things will go bad

but like cassandra

no one listens when they are warned

and now like a doctor

i feel i must pass my loved ones on

i can see how it will end

and yet they all seem to depend

on me to put it off

to delay,

what seems inevitable

the sky will fall

and crush us all

foresight,

a torture that this is

a torture ‘fore torture comes
