Diamond Hands

the year ahead will no doubt test us
as tribulations follow trials
let not paralysis arrest us
in futile and obscene denials
let us instead engage each other
and let no man deny his brother
humanity's genteel embrace
without regard to creed or race
let us unshackle every collar
be honest and be pure of heart
rewarding each who plays their part
unchain them from the mighty dollar

and give them crypto chains instead
and let the central banks know dread
