1) Your tactic of remaining silent is failing miserably. Soon you’ll decide it’s time to pack up and leave but you won’t make it past the first checkpoint. You’ll grip the steering wheel and look at yourself in the rearview mirror and ask yourself why you didn’t speak up sooner.

2) Well. I am here to remind you why you didn’t speak up sooner. You were a coward.

You lacked the electricity to speak out and scrolled past hundreds of friends you trusted ignoring all of their pleas for you to wake up. But you didn’t.

3) So now you go back home and think about why you called everybody a “conspiracy theorist” while you fill out another form in triplicate for a request for emergence vaccination so you can leave your porch to approach the mailbox during “peak hours.”

4) We’re not friends anymore. You can’t even handle being around me. The shame is too much for you to bear and your electrical field can’t handle organic humans anymore. They are far too intense for you.

5) You’re entire system is shorted out because you swallowed every lie told to you by the CDC. You did this despite what your friends and your gut tried to say. You blindly trusted a corporation masking itself as a government instead.

And you wore a muzzle the whole time.

6) Now it’s time to turn around in the seat, look back at your kids, and tell them how your silence made everything okay. Assure them you being quiet now is how you are helping them survive in the future after you are gone.
