WTF Jan. 2, 2014

 

WTF

The old year

Like an old man

Passes away today,

We see rebirth,

Only she throws out

The baby with

The bath water

We don’t know

What is what

Some bit of

Theatrics played

As the ball drops

In Times Square,

Leaving us to believe

What ends up

At the bottom

Isn’t what it was

When it started

On top.

Who do you blame?

It feels like

A conteniental shift,

Leave me wondering

Which side of the

Great divide

She’s ended up on

Will we ever hear

From her again.

This idea of change,

The sense of new

Replacing old,

This desperate need

To begin again,

On the right foot

This time,

On the right path,

Towards the right

Destination,

Leaving all

The baggage behind,

To find some new way

To get what she needs

Or wants or deserves,

The old year dying

Right before our eyes

The new year crying

For something

We as yet

Cannot give
