Happy Solstice.

Happy solstice, gentle reader,
As the world turns so do we.
The season makes a new beginning
And the change will set us free.

Happy solstice, leave behind you
All the dark things of the past
One last look at what we’re leaving
Make it short, make it the last.

Happy solstice, it’s the final
Turning of the old decade.
In 2000, do you remember
All the wishes that we made?

We thought we’d have a cure for cancer,
Feed the world and stop the blows.
What we got was 9/11
Expensive wars and talent shows.

Proliferating credit companies
Pay tomorrow, have today.
Rich singers, actors, politicians
While the third world fades away.

But at last the earth is turning
We will make our voices heard
The new world order’s people power
Let’s all talk around the world.

Here’s a lovely solstice present-
Another chance to make it right.
Happy solstice, gentle reader,
First the dark and then the light.
