Analysis of happy new year
As the year draws to a sweet end in the next few hours I would like to take this special moment to say
thank you, to all of you who made this 2013 a worthwhile
to the ones that loved the unique sound of sweet poetry
to the ones that hated it too... even if it came from me
to the ones that spoke sweet words to the ears of the deaf
to the ones that held them back from the ears itching to hear
to the ones that loved
to the ones that shoved it off
to the ones that believed even in the heat of steaming doubt
to the ones that crumbled under the weight of the slightest pressure spilling out
to the ones that said i am sorry in the shoes of innocence
to the ones that sought for justice even in the shoes of their guilt
to the ones that craved for good knowledge
to the ones that hailed every fool's nonsense
to the ones that criticized to make alive
to the ones that criticized to break the hive
to the ones with jealousy deeply rooted
to the ones with courage uniquely boosted
to the ones who smiled even in the face of death
to the ones who died a thousand times all for the sake of fear
to the creepy pessimist
to the witty optimist
to the ones with a family
to the ones who are lonely
to the ones who love to celebrate
to the ones who only love to tell the date
to friends
to foes
you all made the year 2013 a worthwhile.... and in few seconds we beat our chest in sweet harmony to a new year with aspirations even higher
with love from Philip Asaya
