Old Year's Joy

Dragging his feet with exhaustion,
 
On the unending path of time,

The wise old year, the gates of oblivion approaches,

His face glowing

His heart pounding for joy

His mind in ecstasy

His soul in rapture,

Because in a few hours, at last,

Able will he be,

The heavy load of humanity’s unbearable predicaments

Upon

The impatient shoulders, of the unwise New Year,

To, finally, lay!
