For 2016 and on...

Always remember

Racism has no race

Sexism has no gender

But love, that's a whole different story;

That mind is universal

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Always remember

The forgotten may not have a voice

The remembered may not have a heart

But the courageous and brave and relentless trump hate

Because being powered by love, that's a whole different strategy;

That cry is universal

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Also

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Always remember

That humans forget faster than they remember

That when it gets cosy, they get comfortable

That history won't be repeated

That dark lords don't rise

That death eaters don't wonder

Because The Daily Prophet (news) said so

Until this repetitive cycle becomes obsolete

And humans produce memory cells

Of herd immunity

Stagnation will define progress

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

But also

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Always remember

Bullies reflect insecurity

Haters deflect purity

And love, it's got a power to shield millions

And make every human, into the girls and boys and fruits and flowers who lived

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Always remember

Airports may have more sincere kisses than wedding halls

Hospitals may hear more sincere prayers than churches, mosques, synagogues, kovils, and temples

Because goodbyes and strife

Bring people together to unite humanity everywhere

And love from diversity, that's a whole different melody;

That beat is universal

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

It's time to regain 2016, and beyond

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

To work your hearts out

And build an army of intelligent human(e)s

To make the world kinder

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Again
