Auld Lang Syne – Another Day

Auld Lang Syne wed

Come What May

And birthed a child

Named Another Day

Another Day

Went to bed

Dreamed her dreams

Of years ahead

 

Rainbows faded

Pots of gold

Filled with greed

Empty souls

 

Sunshine skies

And warm respites

Moved up north

To the pole to hide

 

Ice came south

And cooled the days,

Rivers, seas,

And ocean waves

 

Tides rolled in

Up past the shores

Encroached on land

Then underscored

 

Fracking, drilling

Clearcutting logs

Led to loss of

Habitat and smog

 

Smothered trees

Asthmatic youth

Salmonella

Alphabet soup

 

GMO, DNA

FF, GG, N-RE

M, NO,

Led to P

 

Vaccine overload

Dis-ease,

Blood moon, famine

Red algae

 

Dream your dreams

Another Day

They come to pass

Said Come What May

 

Dream your dreams

Said dear old Dad

Times gone by

And Kindness had.
