May 2026 be your best one yet. Stay true to yourself - unapologetically. Whatever happens, we’re in this together and I truly do believe that there is hope for a better world. Read widely, speak wisely, and (poor attempt at making this rhyme) treat each other nicely.
Here’s a wee poem I wrote today.
New year, but no new me
I refuse to become something
I ain’t meant to be.
Some things may change
And everything new at first seems strange
Other things may, must, and need to end
But let me assure you that always, you can depend
On me
The cycle will keep turning
But maybe instead of yearning
For more, let’s work for a future in which
Everyone can be free.
Love is love
And no one watches over us from way above
For 2026, we’ll say, each and every day:
Fuck ICE
And free Palestine
Every creature matters and deserves to live,
Tax the rich, they’ve got plenty and some more
Left to give.
Here’s to you, go keep your vice
Whether that is smokes, or beer, or wine.
