JUST LIKE BEFORE( A POEM FOR THE NEW YEAR)

People say,
A new year,
A new beginning,
But I wonder-
If it is true.


As tomorrow,
Is new year,
And-
I’ll get up in the morning,
Just like before,
Brush my teeth,
Just like before,
Have my breakfast,
Just like before,
Go to work,
Just like before,
Get stuck in the same old traffic jam,
Just like before,
Meet and talk to my friends,
Just like before,
Have lunch in the same old “mamak” stall,
Just like before,
Come back home just like before,
Face the same old music at home,
Just like before,
Cry on the inside and laugh on the outside,
Just like before,
Watch tv and read the paper with the same old news,
Just like before,
Have my dinner,
Just like before,
Go to bed,
Just like before,
And-
Get up in the morning-
JUST LIKE BEFORE

Now,
When everything happens-
Just like before,
How can people say,
A New Year ,
Is-
A new beginning,
That again,
Is said -
JUST LIKE BEFORE!

( P/S THINK ABOUT IT AND SEE IF I AM LYING OR TELLING THE TRUTH..HOW MANY TIMES IN OUR LIVES THAT THE NEW YEAR HAS ACTUALLY MADE A DIFFERENCE)
