Yet another New Year is here again
It is but a passing moment in time,
In which we bury past year’s pain
With it no more encounter we wish to claim
The year, while it lasted, seemed too long
Come, let us ring out the old and ring in the New Year
With boisterous cheer and a joyous song
For it brings Dreams and hopes we hold dear
A dream for a world free of any strife
And humanity purged of terror creed
A wish for prosperity to unfortunate waif
And demise of ubiquitous political greed
A dream for a year starved of hunger death
And a year where no child ever needs to toil
A wish for a year sans rapes and wasted girl’s breath
And no more misery to the tillers of soil
A dream for a year without any scams
And a society aware of, as it is of rights, its duty
A wish for fortitude to face life’s storms
And a heart to marvel at nature’s beauty
I would also wish for a little pain
And a few moments that are somber
For I may fail to appreciate good time
In my joyousness induced slumber
