Give your best in all you do,
Commit yourself and see it through
To your convictions please stay true
Don’t bite off more than you can chew.

Focus on what’s right, not wrong
Don’t dwell upon your problems long
When troubles strike keep standing strong
Sing aloud a victory song.

Medium’s the place to write
Where we are slaves each day and night
Helping the world to see the light
Account suspensions are a blight.

Scammers may have been the cause
Forcing the New Year’s earning pause
Though speculation often bores
Just stay awake and fight the snores.

Falling payments may frustrate
But please don’t let it make you hate
Let’s hope they open up the gate
And pay what we missed out to date.

Just keep writing what you must
Take highlights, reads, and claps on trust
And hope that we’ll still earn a crust
Let’s stay on Medium or bust.
