In what we’ll find in 2025
Determines in what we strive
Forward into a true unknown
Or backward to a deep overgrown
Expressions that we all can share
Or in depression and despair
Bountiful in joyful appreciation
Factor in wholesale denunciation
Pray for a salvation universal
And remedies for each reversal
For each and all of our anxieties
Let there be new societies
So there are Heavenly prayers
And answers to all that scares
With talks going ballistic
Seek answers that are realistic
So without any elegance
Dealing with what is by chance
Look for the real McCoy
Then give them a thataboy
In the new year that lies ahead
We must face again what we dread
Crossed fingers in what’s trending
Pray for just another happy ending
And on the highway that swerves
Least we get what we each deserve
For the unknown and the unexpected
Be forearmed with what’s detected
With faith and harmony
From sea to ever shining sea
Remonstrances and protestations
The agony of false allegations
With much Providential pride
We lay false pretensions aside
Embrace a better nature for
What lies ahead and is in store
Across the globe the tsunami comes
Staccato rhythms on darkened drums
To wash the shore’s illustrations
Bring about newer culminations
A rising tide that shall recede
Leaving the lost to openly bleed
Hopes like diamonds in the sky
Gives us purpose by and by
Therein the war that enterprises
Amongst ruins the smoke rises
Tattered banners in the breeze
Soften the salients that we seize
So that what was merely illusional
Soon came out to be truly delusional
Yet the Divine will never neglect us
For by His hand He will always protect us
Leave us not be ever doubtful
Even as the true enemy is poutful
Count on their being spiteful
While we remain ever insightful
