New Year awaits, more of the same? Wear masks and take a jab Which awful country will we blame? Or you’ll die like a crab. Do not waste time in dreams Think you know all, it seems, Please avoid bad extremes. At Heaven’s gates New Year awaits. Quietus

When will we stop blaming and pull together to rid our world of these blights? Well penned food for thought.

There was a reason for the evil plan, Victor. All we can do is trust in God and not the arm of flesh.

I agree with you avoid bad extremes take the middle way, follow the light, draw from your own power which is fueled by God's precious love. oh I forgot, appreciate your friends. They are the gold stars that make you feel truly loved, when nothing else on earth does. :)

In the festivity and enthusiasm of greeting the New Year, never ever forget that an assailant is close to us to tighten his noose around our neck. A great warning Victor!

I feel the same as a lot of the others, the evil hovers still yet a few more years. It is a shame that a virus invented now killing so many. Was that the plan? Happy New Year my dear friend with lots of hugs and love

Please receive my balmiest wishes for a happy and harmonious New Year, Victor. Despite the enduring scourge, your magnificent poem performs as a vigorous reminder that we can't bear ourselves to get despondent, distinctly over the New Year.

Great Quietus, Victor … try to rhyme last two lines, for example ‘at Heaven’s gates’ ! Poem title is the refrain - New Year awaits
