I fear we have no time to waste.
And yet we should not act in haste.
So I propose we move with speed
while taking all the time we need
to make sure that our speedy move
will not eventually prove
in twenty-twenty retrospection
a bureaucratic misdirection
leading to a grave and bloody
farce that warranted more study.
History will someday praise
the boldness of our swift delays
and how we did not hesitate
to know that it was best to wait.
