| Will this be one Of Peace and Joy Or one of Strife And Sorrow? Tis hard to know For the New Year but Starts upon the morrow. What have we learned We can all ask about The year just passed Not much I'd say It seems to me The World has learned But naught for Want And Fear and Hunger Are still so manys' lot This time each year We all avow to End the suffering And shortly hence We all forget for Want of other things Many Children that are Born this year May live or they may die Of Sickness and of Hunger And the World sits Idly by. Oh we'll watch the news And shake our heads And ask our Gods the Why But will we say Enough's Enough There is no need of this For who will rise And take a stance to Fight these wretched foes Of War and Fear and Hunger And put an end to Woe. |

| Your words cannot be more true than that my friend. But mankind is what it is...all kind of promises that no one cares to honor...how many of us that during the holiday season promise this and that but to finally just die with the wind...mankind will always be the same...you know for you read history and suffering has been here on this Earth since men walked on it... Men and their greed brought poverty and suffering into this world... It is up to each of us and at least try to help each other...that's a start. Great poem my friend, LOA  |

| Great poem and all too true but not complete. For these things come and it is bad but not the end. For there must be hope and dreams. Though war rages on and hunger and suffering abound, hope can and must live. Even in the hardest places and times there are a few angels, a few who have kindness and love, a few who care for others. A few can bring hope and peace to a troubled people and land. May this new year bring hope. May this new year bring peace to troubled lands. Let us be the ones to bring joy and love and kindness to the troubled. Keep your dreams alive for in dreams all things are possible in hope there is life eternal RebeccaAnn |

| Hope does spring eternal and who knows the day may come when mankind will look back and wonder what took so long. Camac |
