A New Year

Well here we are... another new year...
We saw the last one out with a blast, or rather blasts. Bombings, air raids, explosions, massacres, any form of killing that makes a lot of noise and results in most devastation and destruction. This is how we saw the old year out. The news channels reported the deaths and killings and the people sat next to their TV sets, some to hear the latest reports and others to see the New Year in.
When I was a child I used to believe that the war would end at Christmas. The end of a year seemed so far off, it seemed only natural that evil had to end. But evil seems to be here to stay.
Too bad we do not live as one.
Too bad we either have foolish leaders or wise ones that have made foolish choices. Too bad we can sit back and watch the world crumble and then turn our eyes from the truth. Too bad we don’t care anymore.
