in support of Zohran Mamdani
We say,
“Nothing changes but we make it so!”
“But change wreaks havoc on our world!”
say those who would lecture us
on what they say we all should know.
It must be said that these "teachers" are older,
more well-off, and very much invested
in this world that they love so,
while we are young and still have little…
So we would say to them,
“That’s a good thing!
We have little to lose!"
We can be bolder than those older,
and there is so much to be gained!
And this much we know:
Nothing changes but we make it so!
Gordon Gilbert is a NYC west village writer who takes walks along the Hudson River to find some relief in nature from the almost daily unrelenting bad news. But he finds reason to hope for a better 2026 with the new mayor, Zohran Mamdani.
