New Year’s Eve
We spend a day to recall pain
Catastrophes we can't explain
Those we've lost, choices we regret
Things we'd otherwise forget
We blame hardships on a span of time
But the year itself has committed no crime
It's us who cause the war and hate
But it's more fun to celebrate
And say the year will make us new
With goals and plans we'll never do
Just wait a day and we'll return
To the same life, for we don't learn
Now 2k17 sits behind bars
Cuz we can't admit the fault is ours.
