Another Year!

With America accepting a black as the 44th President, the world seems to be starting afresh with everything.... as we hit the year 2009.

 

As we race to another year

Of the Lord of Hosts

When passions attitudes and habits

Will either gain or lose a milestone

When everything  is new again

And behold older by another round

 

We race to another year

When America shades much of the scales of racism

Embresses the content of character

Like Italians once kissed  a Polish Pope

 

We race to another year

When the World demands peaceful coexistence

Abhors the war drums of terrorists everywhere

And detests all forms of injustice anywhere

 

As we race to another year

May Providence open  closed doors

To all men of Goodwill

And seal all openings

Where  inhumanity will pop up

 

May the blessings be!

Hello Chijike,

Very timely and strongly worded poem! "May Providence open closed doors and seal all openings where inhumanity will pop up.." is a prayer we all need to say. All of us need to start with ouselves and another year will be better for the world.
