Off With the Old

What will this New Year bring?
Will we be able to laugh and sing
Instead of looking sad?
Will we see an improvement?
Good reigning over bad.
What can we look forward to,
Please, not some of the same,
Will common sense prevail,
Before we all go insane.
What will become of us?
The supposed HUMAN race,
Will our lack of HUMANITY,
Continue to come back to hit us in the face.
What can we do to ease this situation?
We must pull together,
To regain United Nations.
