Fj R 's New Years Wish...

Each year Tradition takes our arm, and we follow Despite the many troubled Mind's left to wallow We wish for each other good tidings, great cheer Prosper and happiness...for the coming New Year I relax and watch the news...then recall Vietnam Or my Fathers World War tales born in Guam How Christmas tradition was a mutual Truce That was broken before they had coffee or juice If the principals only had taken this time To reflect on the carnage, those who had died All in the name of skewed elements For if they had done this, how could War make sense Yet, in lieu of Peace 'n Prosper we bleed Black-blood from fields of oil and greed And, in the process, one would hope we'd finally get The picture that War, is like a bad gamblers bet This Christmas, this New Year.....what I'd like to see Is a bit of chemeria turn away from fantasy Into a real-life paraxysm of a world on the same Book and same pages, breaking bread and sharing blame. So simple to place in words, yet still I wish That when I logon to a site with people from every niche Of the world that is ours to protect for our young That we all seek common ground, regardless of native tongue Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and to all my very best To every God-Woven soul....that may be given lifes test In resolving hard issues without taking blood or flesh For in the end, we're all the same thru' Birth and Death A VERY HEALTHY, JOYOUS, PEACEFUL, SUCCESSFUL & CREATIVE NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE, EVERYWHERE! ~ FjR ~
