(Our portcos weaved in the links)
Dear Santa, here is my first letter
From little Jewish Tony, many years of age
I didn’t write when the world was better
Less filled with illness, grief, and rage
But now some help could be required
So as much as my rabbi might look askance
I’ll write to Santa and to Lakshmi for Diwali
To the Spaghetti Monster if it helps
First, please let the world heal back better
Like the nightmares that changed old Scrooge’s life
Please wake us from the year that’s gone on forever
With more peace, joy, and love, a lot less strife
Instead of shiny cars, let’s get some better drivers
Instead of newer gadgets, more moments to connect
Instead of money, fewer career and social climbers
That only think of the profit that things net
The second thing I’m humbly requesting
Might be too big, but still, I have to ask
Is for the world to really start investing
In tech for everyone, not just addictive apps
Help us find a natural path to healing
Medicinal and tribal psychedelics, even cannabis
Vetted by doctors and with no concealing
Of odd supply chains, harm, or ineffectiveness
Please rid us of the quacks and fakers
As the world gets back to work in full health
Build new communities of difference-makers
Build new see ways to measure our real wealth
New internet – fast, simple, with security
New housing for everyone who works so hard
Investments that democratize opportunity
Data for our wallets to fund what’s in our hearts
Third, a bit of change in those who lead us
I’m sure at least one is already on your list –
Putin’s present from four years ago to anti-elitists
Was broken on arrival and could not be fixed
A bit more sanity in our social network feeds
Even a couple dozen reasoned thoughts would do
Cops who protect and serve those who don’t look like me
Laws that help the many and not just the few
And finally, the present that’s most exciting
In my dreams I already see it beneath my hanukkah tree
It’s probably the main reason that I’m writing
Is a newer, better, more impactful me
The me that breathes love and kindness
The one that finds joy every day at work
The person who bikes and exercises
The kind who’s calm even when faced by jerks
And for my RampRate / Syzygy team, a brand new focus
A bit more of what bright stars like them crave
To earn something more than cash and tokens
To go beyond the millions we make or save
For them, a product and service to heal the corporate psyche
Aligning teams, suppliers, people, and the world
To help supply chains invest in impact more wisely
Stay tuned, it’s something we will soon unfurl
The world is changing – I believe it’s for the better
And while I’m hoping for help from you and all your elves
If the new postmaster misdirects this letter
That’s still all right – we’ll fix the world ourselves
Since cookies are not the healthiest treats for browsers or reindeer
And chimney visits could spread more than holiday cheer
I’m maybe sending you botanical treasures from Kauai which I hold dear
Let’s keep it socially distant but personally close this year
