The world delivers another year
But I will no longer wish for peace
Vie with dawn for the better days
That would have us wish upon delusion
To maintain this status quo of importance
Till at last we are become effete spectres
Incorporeal carriers of hopes unrewarded
The fantastic beasts caged within servitude
The time for such dreams is over now
The war for lasting peace has been lost
We are the refugees of a revolution
Rainbow warriors under the falling skies
Ambassadors of goodly circumstance
And now forget the world is wide and full
Stay close to home, to where the heart is
And within every day do one good deed
Till the blood of acceptance pumps everywhere
