Cherilyn Fry Poet I do not know?

Happy New Year

Happy New Year
the crowds around me cheer

still I am deafened by explosions
as i read about the Ghaza strip
and cry out for peace
for this coming Happy New Year.

Happy New Year
so we always say

as others still go hungry
and others just don't get a pay
no matter how hard they work
in factories that seem to suck their life away.

Happy New Year
let's make it a better year

Happy New Year
with no anger and no fears.
