as we put 04 to bed.
It's on to another tomorrow
as if off to our greatest sorrows.
Then again, maybe we'll leave those behind
find away to win hearts and minds
without death and destruction.
What a year it's been
no need for a formal review
We know what has come to pass
what passes to be.
The boy King still wears his crown
the dollar still marches down
the people still wallow in ignorance
the past still misinforms the present
the present still ignores the future
while life is lived in the time hereafter.
As we look out onto a vista of bold promises
and tell ourselves things will be alright
let us try to be weary of pitfalls
revealed by our past, and
cognizant of footholds
fastened for our future.
These are times made for heroes and men of history
let them come to the forefront and realize who they be.
In this 05 let us roll back the tides of war
and once again bath in the waters of peace
while tanning in the temperance of tranquility.
