Damned new year
Novel Times, Old repetitions
Hope you convey this message from ear to ear
Speaking words of love loud and clear
Let’s promise to offer more cheers than tears
To live reasonably well and without fear
To care for your enemy and those we hold dear
To treasure your family as well as your peers
To sip everyday’s lemons like cold nice beers
To respect each other without mocking or sneer
To remember those who are distant and approach those who are near
I wish you all mankind a wondrous new year.
I suggest you to sketch a to-do list
And begin saying sorry to those you miss
Who you sent away and couldn’t take by the wrist
Who you deeply hurt when you’d rather have kissed
Those you made fun of and thoroughly pissed off
Quit being the lord of war and set up to become the pacifist
Resist selfishness and learn to abide and insist
Start shaking hands and stop clenching your angry fists
This brand new journey has no need of thunders or blinding mists.
I’d say my promises are shallow and empty
But yearnings and scorching passions I have in plenty
Even though my heart wavers for a moment, no disheartenment will tempt me.
I plan to share my pitiful sorrow and splendid joys
I want to build bridges and cease to destroy
I decided to be much braver and a little less coy
I’ll be a grown up with the craving of a dreamy boy.
I’m spreading harmony, prosperity and peace
As I pray my kindness and understanding increases
So my fragile words won’t fall into million pieces.
Come closer and take part in contagious raptures
Let’s dance and sing through fantastic adventures
Let’s feed on bliss and sow the finest future,
Let’s outdo ourselves and go for a challenging new departure,
Let’s be wiser and change our strict posture,
Let’s be infinitely merciful releasing our defenseless capture.
One more number added to your tedious weekdays
A whole set of months ahead of your blurring way
You write a poem though you have nothing to say
Life might remain the same though you try to disobey
The rule of sadness that has been threatening this fragile fresh Monday
Then you swallow the affliction and pretend to be just okay
They can’t see you succumb since you vowed not to be the one of yesterday.
Your expression has a somber veil, but you look dazzling and extremely gay.
The growing anxiety within you often comes with a newborn rain
The divine drops get you soaked but you’re the same ugly stain
No remedy or support can keep you from being openly insane
The illness of dreariness is constantly renewing your latest pain.
You struggle to look on the bright side
Though you’d rather get lost in the dazzling morning tide
An alarming voice tells you to run yet you prefer to weakly hide
Someone expects you to rise up and make great strides
But you have no incentive, will or a tiny chunk of pride
The waves come forth and you do your best not to slide
Inspiration has eloped so you cannot properly rhyme
a few short verses to wish a fortunate new year worldwide.
Excuse the pessimism I may gush outside
These are translated feelings I feel inside
But whenever the torrent of melancholy subsides
I promise to grant you incredible images and ravishing smiles.
