What of the New Year

So who dares foretell what next appears? A world peace to quell all nations’ fears, or a universal turbulence, unprecedented? As the New Year - lamented or contented, arrives, we’re left with great uncertainty, as to the future! No plan nor guarantee despite the plaints of citizens, world wide, who plead with world leaders, to bide their rhetoric, and become more aware of mankind’s urgent needs, and declare a moratorium on all vacuous verbosity, and work towards world peace and unity. A dire need exists for more co-operation, between each and every single Nation to tackle the problems that exist today! Some think this impossible, but who can say? But it is imperative, all childish prattle, accompanied with threats and sabre rattle ceases forthwith! Threatened action does naught but engender more reaction, and exacerbates the already tense situation. As for the New Year, what does it portend? A more tolerant world, or one that will end in nuclear conflagration, and annihilation? There is so much life offers if moderation is allowed to rule, and mediation curtails the proliferation of war. When peace prevails and nations work together in constructive unity then the New Year will enjoy a time of serenity. As for all members of the Internet VN fraternity, it is my hope you will enjoy a year of prosperity! That diplomacy allows commonsense to dominate, and prevent a world wide calamity, ere it is too late! Rhymer. December 27th, 2017.
