Of New Year 1992 Poem by Isaac Maliya

You have come
As did indeed 1991
With what story now?
Of seeing us through?

You have come
As did indeed 1991
Not to be a replica
Of the tearful 1991.

You have come
As did indeed 1991
Free from tragedies?
Away from disasters?
Not to be meaningless?

You have come
With new clothes
In your own right
There lies our hope.

Dedication: To all who could not see
another year.
