New year where

New year were celebrated and proclaimed
But what does it really mean
For some or many it is tradition or the following of fashion
For others it is an occasion to dress up and have an event
For others it is business
For others it is work or any other day

I was briefly discussing with someone what was done on new years

One was about alcohol and drugs and on the other hand it was reflection

But that is the sliding scale that can be viewed from a calendar date

Which brought me into many avenues of thought what is the point of new year processions to then regress to an old year

And if we approach it as such maybe many of us have not had a new year in awhile

Or that it is not really a new year until something new impacts your world
Because in this age we can skate through on the nuance and newness of other peoples lives

Do you go from the haze of potential grandiosity
And can seemly touch world peace

Before returning to monotony racism poverty and inequality

And the biding time for the cyclical carousel of celebrations to spend money on or dress up for

Shouldn't new years be everyday
But how many days in the year can you say it before its just next year

Its a new year
Really really
What because of the earths travel
In the cosmos
Yet my people are starving
Dying  and
jumping borders as tall as heaven with the thought of a better life able to go sleep without hearing gunshots tonight

Maybe I am judging the new year too
Soon
