Fear Of The New Year. Poem by dave lessard

I am afraid of the new year
more mass killings and such
more deviant behavior - like
inappropriate sexual touch.

If it feels good, do it
like Abbie Hoffman said
like the sixties preached
but Abbie now is dead.

What happened to restraint?
what happened to our morals?
what's happened is apparent
we sat not on our laurels.

We kicked God out of school
we kill babies at conception
we think that both are right
how deep lies our deception!

I'm afraid of the new year
of the things that are ahead
of the tolerance of fools
and what is left unsaid.
