The New Year of 2026
Welcome, 2026.
We greet you
without drums.
With scars.
With open hands.
2025 closed doors
without apology.
It taught us
how endings rule men
before beginnings crown them.
You arrive as calculation.
2+0+2+6.
Ten.
Reduced to One.
The first law of power.
The beginning of command.
The number that creates
by destroying what came before.
The old order collapses quietly.
The new is not gentle.
It is born
from necessity.
You are the Sun
after a long night.
Not merciful.
But clarifying.
From many voices
to one direction.
From division
to unity sharpened by truth.
We open the gates
not with faith alone,
but with understanding.
May humanity learn restraint.
May power learn balance.
May peace come
not as innocence,
but as wisdom earned.
To every soul still standing,
after the storm of yesterday,
I say—
Welcome to 2026.
The year that begins
because it must.
