Welcome In Twenty Twenty-Two
When all seems going fast to hell,
We owe it to ourselves to ring out
Every bell inside ourselves,
Feel well inside, to ride it out
With cheer and hope,
Not saying ‘nope’ nor moping
In an all-out negativity.
Let’s pop the cork of sympathy;
Philanthropy with sense and insight,
Making right the wrongs not -out
but inside first.
Let’s face the new year with old wisdoms.
Every culture has, knew, knows them
Through the sages of their ages.
Let’s not be marred by karma’s laws.
Past cause is always swallowed up.
Let’s sow new seeds as yet unsown
For we, the generators, Time’s creators,
Form the future still unknown.
Out with scum, the humdrum and the dumb
Caught up in busy-ness of nothingness
That’s not for us.
As said before: Let’s greet the year
With hope and cheer
Despite clear omens of the climes
And sheer despair of scattering diaspora from native homelands,
And, and, and – and
in between,
Let’s welcome twenty twenty-two
With all the things we’ve yet to do;
Taking care to make clean air,
Peace everywhere we go
To do our tiny bit to muck in with the best,
Not knuckling under with the rest.
Good luck as you become one of
the very blessed .
