NEW YEAR

Written for a contest, what we need in the New Year.

Note well, all you New Year's mad hatters,

It's the future that really matters,

With all your joyous bevies and beers,

Blazing fireworks and raucous cheers,

What does really matter,

All you party hearty mad hatters?

What's our New Year's resolutions?

As we commence our anticipation,

What about peace as liberation?

Or making extinct extinction,

For all our human nations,

And animal populations?

Can we think of any new solutions,
Beyond reafforestation?

How can we end terrorism?

Which masks the real perdition--

Running the world on munitions.

Very unpopular thoughts, my dears,

One of my muse's strange ideas,

If we can make the world a better place,

For everyone in the human race.....

So, all you New Year's mad hatters,

It's all our futures that matter.
