To fail and fail to learn is vanity, like chasing windblown sand.

Thanks for reading!
Author's Notes: Saw Kendall Defoe's What To Say and Rick's Never Seen Again, so though I'd give it ago. You can take a look at their pieces below:
Inspired by Rick Henry Christopher and C. Rommial Butler, here are the rules:
- Must be 9 to 12 words
- The third word and last word must rhyme
- The poem must have a meaning to it
- Give it a title that is relevant to the meaning of the poem

Sunsetting Pride 2024
Happy Pride! As Pride Month 2024 begins to sunset, I want to congratulate every individual who has become brave enough to take control of their life and live as their authentic, beautiful self. This is a month when it highlights those accomplishments. From acceptance within families and friends to acknowledgement in the political arena. Starting with Stonewall (and events prior) leading to the Supreme court ruling for same-sex marriages. We are here, we are queer, and we should never live in fear.

Nicely done, Sir!
Very good. And seems such a minor key to rhyme off, I kind of like it, it's almost rebellious.
