Welcome year twenty twenty four
Bless this world with peace many more.
Conflicting nations now stand at four
Let harmony and tranquility be at their door.
May the ravaged lands find a light,
And Ukraine, Russia end their fight.
Rivalry, battle between Israel and Hamas
may end with ease and both embrace peace.
Year Twenty Twenty Three was corona free
Omicron\'s new variant JN1 has made an entry.
Let the new variant wane without causing pain
Misery of past pandemic not to repeat again.
AI, a domain soaring high, a tool so vast,
Its generative, creative tools unsurpassed,
Search engines, human speech to robotics at last.
Let emotions and sentiments remain intact
With humans exclusively and never part.
Halt IT layoffs and let new opportunities arrive.
Jobs aplenty for the youth, pathways to thrive,
As new year dawns, let’s not get stuck in the past
Welcome and celebrate the event with big blast.
