Our Annual Delusions



Our Annual Delusions





Delusion one



On that special day



We hear and hope



"Peace on earth



and



Good will toward men"



 



 



Delusion two



 



Just a few days later



Glasses of bubbly raised high



We hear



And hope



"Happy New Year"



As was heard each year before



And way back when



 



Keep hoping



It might just work



Maybe!!!

Correct, Stan! I guess, people need to externalise the hope that they feel they have inside. Makes it more plausible.

When at this time , all of that is spouted , leaving a bad taste , a ringing in the ears , mouthing hypocrites , cynicism , growing , remembering a day now so long ago , when while world at war , men lade down there guns , found those them charged to kill , sang , joke , plaid a game of sport , them buggers behind the lines , said it were wrong , that them soldgers , should be about there duty , be KILLING KILLING! not be singing of pease! what would the world be , when soldgers should discouver , that those operset , were MEN just like them selfs!

Pardon me , Stan , but your work prest a button.
