2013 Poem by ekul leets

2013 what does it mean?
4 numbers together or so it seems?
Another year added to date, of technology and prospect to come of late.
The futures bright or so they say but who are they to have this say?
2 many wars,0 years of peace,1 world in agony it isn't 3ree.
I beg of thee to raise a glass and forget the future to remember the past.
Remember the times of old and gay, the times that were bright, or so they say.
The times that seem to be free not mean,
I don't see free in 2013.
