Could We Start Again Please? (A Poem at New Year\'s)

With the passing of the Yule,

I am reminded of Jesus, via

The rock anthem penned by

Lloyd-Webber and Rice, and

With this year, being the hell

It has been, I repeat that ever

Apposite lyric, over and over

Again, could we start again please?

 

Much has been taken, much has stalled,

Everywhere gridlocked, and the news,

Stale, swilling the same cocktail, then it’s

Served to us, as gruel, with us lapping

It up; like voracious workhouse children,

However, look forward, this hurt won’t last,

Thus, we better make sure that we learn fast,

So, I repeat, could we start again please?   

 

Let’s contain the pain, banish the virus,

And let the little island I call home,

Begin again, and let our minds retune

To improve ourselves, so we can lessen the wars,

Decrease the scars, so that we can become

Superstars, instead of division and dissatisfaction,

Why not try to become a better faction, thus

I recap again, could we start again please?

 

So, let’s forget 2020, but let’s face it, it’ll

Be hard to do so, so instead let it be

A learning curve for all, on how to fill our time,

To be creative, to be thankful, and give those

Lonely hearts a call, thus, let’s repair; this despair,

By giving a care, thus, 2021 we welcome you with open

Desperate arms, in the hope of much ease,

Thus, I implore to you, could we start again please?
