Happy New Year
I need inspiration to usher in the new year
This last on was difficult to get past
Now I am looking to find some cheer
That throughout the new year will last.
Finding people are divided over a cure
Not caring what happens around
Others telling me only their religion endure
And only in their faith salvation found.
Politicians trying to steal our democracy
Pitting us against ourselves for a lie
Trying to upend our republic for hypocrisy
Well, this new year I dare them to try.
It is never wise to underestimate what is good
And the patriots who uphold our morality
One thing those on history’s dark side never understood
This place stands only if there is harmony.
Dividing a people only succeeds for a while
This coming year will surely show
It is the autocrats who will go out of style
And into history’s abyss will go.
As far as your religion, it is your own
I hope it keeps guiding you in the right direction
But for my faith, I must be left alone
There is only One who can have my attention.
And so, the new year comes once again
And some of its struggles and promise know
Yet with what is new, only history can explain
But with faith and courage into it I will go.
