The Resolution Execution

why do I make resolutions? 
will I ever change?
every year a new solution
Yet I am still the same 


I inhale sweet pollution
a different flavor every year 
but now with retribution
after the ball drop cheer


my diet is a constitution
guilty pleasures await 
my body, my institution 
I don’t care the date 


the ritual of absolution 
of a commitment I must make 
feels like personal destitution 
an action I’d rather fake 


would you like my allocution?
well I have no remorse
there is no attribution 
because I won’t stay the course


here’s a substitution 
my offering to midnight 
my only contribution 
is nothing, out of spite
