Another Year Fades

Just as guilty 

As the year before

Begging for charity's

Unconditional forgiveness

While asserting the very

Same hopes, dreams and

Promises, sounding

Convincingly anew

Still staggering from last

Year's resolutions, this

Time failure is not an option

Hell bent, unwavering

Consummated by hope's

Relished goals, another

 Year cries out, sinking under

New Year's pledging light.
