Our day will come

Intensity without a wink, without irony, is that allowable anymore?
Because I feel a force that is entirely unwinking, undiluted by a hundred reasons for sensible restraint…
‘Our day will come, then we’ll have everything.’
I’m interested in a tone that is something more than ironic- irony seems old and tired to me. It’s a wink whose intent has laziness, fear woven through it.
