Closer to midnight At the end of the year

Dec 31, 2016

As we get closer to midnight

At the end of the year,

Another gone by

And little to cheer.

As we get closer to midnight

At the end of the year,

Can we hope for a new one

Without having to live in fear,

Without war, without hatred,

Instead a world living in peace,

Embracing the love

And discovering,

That if we demand more,

From those who make the rules,

We can stop them from using

Us all like tools.

The tools of their destruction

Which help make them rich,

A world where they don’t ever want,

Any hope of peace.

So as we get closer to midnight

At the end of the year,

May you all choose a future

Without any tears.
