As this time of year comes once more around
Like many I try to think of something profound
Exiting the decade that, sadly, not all will see
Ten years blazed by, bringing much reverie
Some bits were good, some others bits not
Ten years of social media, ending with TikTok
Humourist under attack for things uttered in jest
Thinned skinned individuals judging what’s best
Electronic tentacles giving all it seems choices
Giving the meekest owners of keyboards voices
Being part of the middle seen as a blessing
No minority issues, why would you be stressing?
Another new year, a new decade, another new start
It is human nature to have an optimistic heart
Because what is the point if you’re not going to hope?
Spend the upcoming decade in a perennial mope?
No. Go forward, attack, overcome all of the fears
Most importantly, have some Happy New years.
