Maybe Next Year
"(Anacreontic Verse)"
Another year goes
a new year comes
if I recall right
this always been so
from way far back when
on and on and on
so I say, listen
if I can picture
this year too is
rehashed and rewrapped
same old squabbles
same petty discords
futile quest for peace
but there's always hope
hope to hang onto
hope for harmony
hope for love and peace
man is a poor soul
feeble in spirit
fickle in thoughts
lost without hope
the ills of a year
ha, lasts but one year
