NEW YEAR, NEW CHALLENGE
Melvin Banggollay

N-ew year's celebration is the busiest day
The year have on its entire human history
For almost all nations have noisy festivity
To grace the coming of new year's glory.

E-verybody were busy preparing many
Like festivities where food fest have its day
Aside from the grandiose fire works display
And cowing sounds of gun singing with gay.

W-ell, we can not deny that on this special day
many were victims of fire works inter play
Like amputated hands, burned face agony
burned houses and a lost of life in a a family.

Y-ear 2008 is met with lot of noisy festivity
Like sporadic display of guns from anybody
aside from heavy fire works creating malady
For those unfortunate victims of such display.

E-veytime we celebrate new year in the country
Peoples seems not happy when they only
Met this special day with prayer for the family
That they give more emphasis to fire display.

A new year is a new beginning for everybody
to face the trials of life as we try to play
Our role given by the Supreme Almighty
As agent of pro-life with God's beauty.

R-esolve to make a difference in our own way
by sharing our helping hands for the needy
by serving as light and salt for anybody
like those who needs our help and mercy.
