From Joyous To Joyless

The balloon has popped
  Life's merry-go-round stopped

The 21st century's bubble burst
  We got hit with the worst

Written perhaps in the stars
  Else the scheme of a commissar

No one knows what's ahead
  Already 800,000 dead

Now's the time to take stock
  No turning back the clock

Yes. This is true...no turning back the clock. We must hope for better and appreciate every single simple moment. Have a nice evening Gershon :)
