The Passing of the Current Year

We shall soon bear witness;
we shall collectively share that witness
of the impending death of the current year.

A year twas rather bloody, unjust, full of despair
and yet with a glimmer of hope that shimmers in the eyes 
of all those people who do not follow the news nor understand it.

We shall see to it that the current year passes with style,
...and with a smile,
giving birth to an even more sinister individual
which we'll have to put with for the next twelve months.
