An Account Of 2016 Poem by M. Asim Nehal
An Account Of 2016
It seemed as if it was yesterday
When we opened the windows
To welcome the New Year 2016
Now when we look back and see
The starting point is looking hazy
The birds and the pigeons are lost
The fumes of greed have killed them brutally
They flew with courage and enthusiasm
And lost it half way leaving us wondering
Where are those promises and great talks?
How far did they walk on the roads by 2016?
Countries suffered, people suffered
Calamities played its part as well
Some lightening souls left away
Leaving us in the dark
What should I write now? What do I record?
List of false promises, unfulfilled dreams and whatnot
Change of hands did nothing great
People came to power are talking same old sagas
All what I hear, on a new notes same old raga
Deficits of 2015 piled up and doubled
Debits are more with very little credit
The debts we owe is constantly going up
The schedules of repayments have gone
From defaults to rescheduling
Goodwill, neither capitalized nor realized
Assets stood idle for long periods
Guarantee increased and stocks piled up
Turnover was overturned
Expanses gradually expanded
Trial balances put me to the trials
What closing balances should I carry?
What opening balances should I show?
2016 is passing its baton in 2017
In a hope that 2017 will make a great balance sheet.
Very thoughtful poem, Years are passing by and we have nothing to record absolutely. What closing balances should I carry? What opening balances should I show?
If 2016 was bad in many respects and if it is handing over to 2017 its baton, how can we hope that 2017 will be a better one? A bad person cannot hand over a good baton to his successor. The successor has to throw away that baton to the dust bin. See, which year wasn't bad? All our years were an admixture of good and bad. Goodness is always there but we have trained our mind to be pessimistic. We can certainly highlight the good activities that are going around us but who is actually doing it? I think that you are in the financial sector and so, have used such terms as balance sheet etc.
It is so easy to have all these feelings, specially the kind of news is fed to us every day. Wish you a happy new year nonetheless. And congratulations for your personal achievement.
Congrats, a very well deserved selection as members' poem of the day. Let us hope the best for 2017.
Happy New Year, Mohammed! ! ! ! ! .. Congrats on being chosen for the day+++++++++++++++++
