Here we are
Another year
in the rearview
Yet nothing
is new
At first
glance,
We seem to
have come far
But far is
not far
When our mind is in the same place.
Year after
year
We find
ourselves here
Making new
resolutions
Ignoring
solutions
To the biggest
problem we face.
We keep
talking about the same thing,
And doing
nothing.
Since the
beginning of time
Answers have
been ours to find
It has been written on the wall
If there is
to be change at all,
It’s gotta
begin with you and I
Or dream
after dream will die
With the innocent
victims that die
As we war
and fight brother against brother.
Have we no
love one for another?
We can’t let
this year end like the rest
With a
deluge of violence and unrest
We can make
a change, yes we can
Take my hand
And I will
take yours
Together we
can walk through the door
Together we
can bring peace
Together we
can make wars cease
Or must we
end another year
Looking in
the rearview
And finding
nothing new?
