The New Year comes
Amidst fireworks and gunfire.
Another corrosive year
Under the auspices of a fool.
Nothing to change for the better,
Nothing, just more pain,
More divisiveness and heartache.
Watch as what’s unknown
Collapses around our knees.
Impetuousness and egotism
Drive us to the brink of war.
Alone…we’ve alienated our friends,
Left them wondering what we stand for
While we wonder what we stand for.
We’ve lost our souls,
Sold them to the devil himself
While he sits laughing
And watching the insanity of Hannity
On his big screen.
Drowning in birdless tweets,
We live under the thumb of a child
Who treats our sacred institutions
As schoolyard rules to be trampled upon
For his own pleasure.
The New Year comes
And here we are ,
On the second spin of the merry-go-round
With a circus clown at the controls.
God help us…again.
