Farewell 2014, Welcome 2015

Farewell 2014, God Bless You Good years pass in a wink The cup is broken before you finish a drink The bad ones each day, a hell, an inferno Sheepishly creeping in, you made tall promises Peace, tranquility, harmony End of conflict, strife and poverty, Rule of Law, good governance, redeeming of grievances Your promises fell by the way side The high and mighty you served like your predecessors You reincarnated Hitler, Mussolini and Caesars Humbleness vanished, ruled arrogance and pride To Syria and Iraq you gifted ISIS In Afghanistan and Pakistan you created crisis The cruel hands of Satan like Taliban were let loose For the afflicted, anguish and pain you choose You were a silent spectator to Israel’s atrocities Like Nero you fiddled when Gaza burnt The cries and wailings of Palestinian women and children Fell on deaf ears; didn't melt your hardened heart You unleashed sufferings to Muslims in Myanmar You saw the massacre of school children in Peshawar The sit in observed by the leader Imran Khan Against the corrupt rulers in Pakistan Which good deed you boast about It is best for you now quietly to slip out And allow me to welcome two thousand and fifteen See the seed of New Year’s dawn sprout With radiant shine and glow of hope on its face The New Year may as well enter the race May through Almighty’s sublime grace The conflicts and sufferings to leave no trace Exit 2014 and enter two thousand fifteen May tomorrow promise a life tranquil and serene!
