Write a poem about your goals for 2025 5 months agoSpite and Fire

How many professions and passions have been rendered out-of-date in the last two decades? In the last 10 years?
The planet is literally and figuratively on fire.
Every goal I have ever had has been ripped from my hands by the greed of those who would rather see an imaginary number rise in their digital wallets than actually make life easier for the NPCs stuck in their world of worker bots.
Except those bots are people.
People who need food that isn’t poison
And water than isn’t poison
And homes that aren’t poison.

My Goal this year is to become everything they so desperately wish to rip from my person.
My goal is the health they deny me with disabling policies.
My goal is the community that politicians and lobbyists and the oligarchical corporations continually and strategically fracture.
My goal is to live when systems would rather have us die than become unproductive.
My goal is to exist for the love of my fellow person, and myself, and for the spite of everything else that would dictate we should not do exactly that.
