Fight, resist, do not bend
The time will come when they fall from their own hubris.
Fight, resist, stand
The time will come when they will devour themselves.
Fight, resist, protect
We will be the voices history remembers as the quiet ones.
Fight, resist, cherish
We will be ready when the time comes
The battles ahead will be hard, the conflict ahead will be long. We have been fighting this fight for generations.
We will be tested, be placed in dark places.
Yet we can not give up hope
We can not give up our communities.
They started this war we will see it end.
We will win.
Rebel
Fight
They want subservience to their corrupt beliefs.
Stand
Always stand.
The road ahead is dark, dark, yet we must stand.
We who believe in a kind world will see it made.

A blanket that gives no warmth or comfort to the touch of man
In the Queen's realm do we stand.
When this blanket covers the land.
Day 1, Hour 1, Moment 1 of my 43rd year of life.
Day 1, Hour 1, of the first day of my 43rd year.
Day 1, Hour 1
And so the cycle begins again
365 days since last I stood here.
365 days since last I saw this dawn.
365 days since last I will see the sunset.
365 days since last I knew this feeling.
And tomorrow?
Tomorrow is day 1 of my personal year
Ending the year. Ending the 42nd year. Moving into the 43rd.
Ending one year. Starting a new.
Ending one year
Ending one
Ending.
When do the beginnings start?
When do the struggles end?
When is it time to be at peace for a time?
When?
In the night, in the cold, falls the snow.
In the night, in the cold, fell deeds done.
In the night, in the cold, draw the steel, seek the foe.
In the night, in the cold, battle the uncaring foe.
In the night, in the cold, rage against the corrupted world.
In the light, in the dawn, rest now warrior
Personally I would argue that the Reagan administration is what setup this mess to begin with. This administration is just the consequences of the choices made 40 years ago.

So spins the cycle, so spins the year, on this Solstice Eve.
The winter comes once more. The land lays dormant.
The year has past with sorrow, with trials, with challenges.
May the new year be filled with a kinder world.
My wish, my hope.
Yet I ready the steel, I ready the arms and armor.
For a wish is not reality.
What fate awaits the turning of the year?
What events most dire lay beyond time's horizon?
What skill of arms and will will be test?
What foe will be foolish enough to test us?
Winter light
Winter night
Rest the land
Fallow the fields
Come the cold
Come the snow
Seek the hearth
Find the home
Winter's touch and grasp once again
Winter light
Winter night

when our holy sites where built over or taken and remade.
We remember and this is our warning to you who do not bend the knee to those of the Christian Nationalist bent.
You are next.
We who are the children of the Old Gods.
We who are the children of the pagan gods.
We who are the children of the heathen gods remember.
We remember when our faith was barred from service in the empire of Constantine.
We remember when the heathen door of the north became the Devil's Door, /1
They demand we bow, we submit to their god, yet they do not know the truth of their own faith.
They allow men who seek power to tell them what their holy book and theologies say. Instead of reading for themselves.
They follow a corrupted message too many do not know is corrupt.
Building, working, building, working, building, working.
Then it breaks.
Building, working, building, working, building, working.
Then it breaks.
Struggle, hustle, bleed and suffer
Until it breaks
Building, working, building, working, building, working.
Until it breaks.
Until I break.
AI this and AI that,
Yet the soulless masters take away
The soul of creativity.
AI this and AI that
Yet we the dreamers, the storyteller, the true heirs to the bardic traditions are thrown aside.
AI this and AI that
No new stories, no new tales, no imagination.
AI this and AI that...
This and that
The uncaring world. This cruel world. This world of darkness and dire woe.
We will forget this world, remake it, to be kind.
To be kind and just.
The Old Ways ask not that we bend the knee, but that we stand.
The Old Gods ask that we live our oaths, we live our passions, we live our truths
The Old Ways are a hard road in these modern day.
Yet we stand, for honor, for honor, for kindness
Let the childern of hypocrisy be warned.
We stand.
The Children of the Council of Nicaea do not have an emperor of Constantine's stature or skill.
They have an Oathbreaker, a conman, a coward, an idiot.
When they draw the sword to demand obedience they will find that we of the Old Ways shall not be silent.
Nor shall we bend or break.
The Children of the Council of Nicaea will suffer the same fate.
Being the religion of the state beholds them to the state.
The Children of the Council of Nicaea who use God to force all to bend the knee or face the sword are ignorant of their own history.
Hope
A four letter word.
Hope
A word those who use bigotry, hate and religion as a weapon fear
Hope
For as long as Hope burns in the heart.
Blazes in the eyes
We are not broken
We are not bowed
We are not subservient to their beliefs.
Hope is true power.
Resist
They will try to break you.
Resist
They will try to tempt you
Resist
They will try to end you
Resist
For the fanatics will keep pushing until there is no freedom, there is no choice, hut to bend the knee or die.
Resist.
Be kind, do not be nice.
Be kind, do not be nice.
Kind is benevolent, a desire to help others.
Nice is to be pleasant and good-natured.
Kind people help to change the world.
Nice people don't cause problems, will not stand when the time comes.
Be kind, do not be nice.
Be kind, do not be nice.
