There were fireworks in the sky
There was DJ music on the street
Everywhere crackers
burst loudly
Everywhere danced joyous feet!
To welcome the New
Year they say
They must hog all the pleasure
What is our earthly life after all
Isn’t it a ever decreasing treasure?
Let a year end or a year new begin
For a beggar what’s the difference?
Twelve months or thirteen, why care
It’s my hunger I must daily fence!
If the sun begins to
rise in the west
And slopes in the east to descend
Why bother whence it
starts journey
And about where it decides to end!
365 days, let it be less or more
I must sit by the
shuffling throng
When I don’t earn a cent any day
That’s a fact for me aching
wrong!
