PROMISING NEW YEAR!!!! Break of a fresh dawn, I got up to welcome New Year, With hope, news paper would not let Me down with news of rape and murder; A cup of hot coffee, I rushed for the morning paper; Hurry, to know what is new, I spilled some coffee on the floor; Legs stretched on sofa, I spread the page first; Took a sip and put on glasses, To get the morning blast; Two hacked to death, Family killed in a car crash; Drunken lover came under a train, While driving his motorcycle rash; Rice has been stolen from godown Meant to be distributed among poor; Parents could not sleep in grief, Their girls were raped by a venerated seer; A girl can’t go to school in shame, For she does not have a dress; Hunger, rape, insults and neglect Have thrown her life into a terrible mess; War is still there, no party likes To compromise to bring peace; The paper repeats about death and Destruction, as if it’s the world’s wish; This year will be like another year, There will be no new dawn, No freedom from hunger and bloodshed, Never ever a promising day will born; My mood came down low, Could no more enjoy my drink; Wish the world be better next year! For now, my heart begins to sink; Let me get ready for work, With heavy head I have to drive a mile, Wishes, hugs, embraces and many more I have to go through displaying, a fake smile. @Tiku 2014
