Another year.....

The clock chimes to midnight
Triggering celebrations wild
Happiness and expectations run amok
Door of life waits fortune to knock
Another year for youth to live zest
Another year for the enervated to embrace death
Another year of truth and justice
Of falsehoods and injustice
Another year for fulfilling wishes and aspirations
Of disappointments and manipulations
Another year for that career to take off
Of bad bosses and lay offs
Another year for world peace and good deeds
Of phoney wars and soldiers to bleed
Another year of global warming and climate change
Of Copenhagens and small nations short changed
Another year for new enterprises and reinvigorated capitalism
Of naysayers and junky socialism
Another year of technology and innovation
Of bad economic choices and recessions
Another year of building a better world
Of apocalypse predictions and end of world
Of materialistic everything,economy packages and more value for less
And empty Nothingness...
