Cynical New Year

Here we go again trying to outdo our past Another year gone and lessons that won’t last People before principles is where we’re heading I fear Prudence has been lost, common sense shoved to the rear Year past we had a shred of hope for peace at least New Year’s come yet upheaval still rules the Mideast E-boli is forgotten and our current pandemic is the flu What government population control is coming anew? You see fights, stupidity, pollution, wars, and history of it all Each generation perpetuates its own fall Are we ever going to learn our lesson? Gain and grow? Revel in the New Year if you can … use what you know
