Facing the New Year
Janus
standing on the threshold, his rear
View taking
in the past fifty two weeks,
When prices
rose again to higher peaks
As wages
fell. It begins to appear
Food banks
are for many possessed by fear
Of impoverishment.
Meanwhile, war still seeks
Pyrrhic
victories for psychotic freaks
Posing as
helmsmen, claiming they can steer
Their ships
of state to port in some promised land,
That
capital’s already colonised,
Drained and
reduced to destitution.
The climate’s
taken more than it can stand,
While
socialism remains unrealised.
Janus looks
for New Year resolution.
D. A.
