From the Potomiac Files of MLN

a concept i had

Potomia. 

A cruel land. 

he controls us all. 

he manipulates us. 

he has associates. 

lucy is one. 

Potomiacs are not destined to a cycle on her terms. 

she promises us comfort. 

Ease. 

And we give in. 

We accept her terms. 

The fine print was hidden. 

The ease lasts a moment. 

We are left with confliction. 

Regret and longing fight for territory in our minds. 

Longing for ease. 

For comfort. 

For her. 

And so finds us. 

Tells us we can have more. 

We believe her false logic. 

I hear her now. 

We write to ignore her yet I hear her. 

We need to leave his land. 

We must leave Potomia. 

We cannot let the cycle end here as so many others have. 

We must deny her terms. 

We must be Potomiacs no longer. 

We must leave now.
~Matthew L. Northup
