The New Spirits 2019 Poem by Benjamin Chiu Uy

The New Spirits 2019

the old year is leaving, old spirits deflecting away from his previous promises a course hard to keep
It is never easy as a scapegoat,

Think of the unfolding sad events,
Think of the helpless responsibilities,

It's never easy to carry this heavy burdens, the social cares of the billions of people,

Thisworld needs a new mentor, new vigors, the last 360 days has been with old wounds, wars, attritions, hunger, same urgencies, same helplessness, to resurrect this dying planet,

So in this gesture of old acquaintancy, good will,
The old spirit is entrusting his scepters to the new spirits,

The old man saddled with corruptions blame and disrespect,

Is giving his son,a new heir a new administration,
With a new calendar

Welcome 2019 for a renewal of trusts, quests and the new spirit.
