A new dawn of
time it is
Welcome! Well –
come!
Says the warmish
ticking clock
But make not
that grave error
Supposing this
change in time is more than it seem.
You should to
self-deceit, to wishful thinking consent not
Nor slide down
that gullible boulevard
Leading to the utopian
land of hopeless promises
Fall not again
into those delusive clouds of falsehood
Nor be snared by
your hoaxed imagination
Thinking this
new dawn is more than a mere continuation in time.
After all, it’s
just a change in calendar,
And you my
friend are still you!
Let hope die not,
nor should it glow beyond reason
Lest you become
its prey, aye a poor victim of hope
Dream not much,
lest it be difficult to awake
To reality, the
truth that bluntly stares men down
To sanity, do hearken
and be not that spaceman
That flew too
close to the sun.
Days gone by had
myriad new dawns
Tomorrow,
another soon will visit
After all, it’s
just a change in calendar,
