Analysis of Since New Years Eve
On the bus Tuesday
After holidays complete
Standing room only
Shuffling of feet.
Yawning in the sameness.
Faces known for years.
Did they get refreshment
With some laughs or tears?
Hopes resolved at New Years
Peace and love large measure.
Relatives in good health.
Country washed of fears.
Just someone to uplift.
Just some hurt relieved.
That would be sure progress
Since New Years Eve.
