An Account Of 2016

It seemed as if it was yesterday When we opened the windows To welcome the New Year 2016 Now when we look back and see The starting point is looking hazy The birds and the pigeons are lost The fumes of greed have killed them brutally They flew with courage and enthusiasm And lost it half way leaving us wondering Where are those promises and great talks? How far did they walk on the roads by 2016? Countries suffered, people suffered Calamities played its part as well Some lightening souls left away Leaving us in the dark What should I write now? What do I record? List of false promises, unfulfilled dreams and whatnot Change of hands did nothing great People came to power are talking same old sagas All what I hear, on a new notes same old raga Deficits of 2015 piled up and doubled Debits are more with very little credit The debts we owe is constantly going up The schedules of repayments have gone From defaults to rescheduling Goodwill, neither capitalized nor realized Assets stood idle for long periods Guarantee increased and stocks piled up Turnover was overturned Expanses gradually expanded Trial balances put me to the trials What closing balances should I carry? What opening balances should I show? 2016 is passing its baton in 2017 In a hope that 2017 will make a great balance sheet.
