New Years Old Wishes Poetry Contest
Sponsored by Craig Cornish
New Years Old Wishes In a world wrangled with wild wars Between two developed nations, With civil deaths a sad eyesore And a bane to human reason, With harsh tension and violence Elsewhere one can daily witness, Stemming from lack of tolerance, Wrecking homes and lives with distress, With a few basking in plenty, Overwhelmed with satiation And the lot dipped in misery With children doomed to starvation, Would New Years old wishes of love, Would old wishes for compassion Would wishes for peace fly as doves Or drop down the deep ocean? Sands of time will ever unfurl, But human race will remain same; So will issues facing the world And New Years old wishes be same.
