PRECEDENT

obliged to decide
with a sense of urgency
a looming consensus
is about to be made
bringing into play
the tyranny of numbers

claiming a risky pattern
might develop into
a recurring experience

a final verdict
from those who pretend
to be
fair
credible
consistent
unprejudiced

will surface
convince and prevail

exploiting an argument
anchored on ignorance
hypocrisy and plain stupidity

the decision will kill a dream
