Year, months, weeks we had
Days, hours, minutes remain
Ticking clock stops
Year end
Hope and optimism you promised
Myriad resolutions spoken
Day follow day
Lost in life’s challenges
Under the unmerciful sun rays
Through tears from clouds
Dry and hazy Harmattan
Misfortunes and tragedies befell
Creatures of habit
Subliminally repetitive
Change is illusion
Memories as a midget
In next to no time
Leaves wither and fall
Stale is the air, buildings vacated
Unfulfilled dreams and aspirations
