I Believe: A Poem

I believe in community for its own sake, and that we have kindness within us all

I believe that Star Trek can change the world

I believe in deep fried food that is good only when you are eating it

I believe that family is created, and we need not stick with the one we’re born into

I believe in hugs

I believe in diversity as commonality

I believe that information is our most precious commodity

I believe in drinking cocoa in summer, and lemonade in winter

I believe in the power of the written word

I believe that I am a king, and nothing can change that

I believe in equality, but not in justice

I believe in lazy sundays

I believe in curiosity, but not in superstition

I believe that the only constant is change, and that’s okay
