no reason to celebrate

Lights dancing in the sky
Firecrackers exploding
Plenty of food on the table
People shouting, "Happy New Year!"

Time gone ticking away
Hours turn to minutes
Minutes turns to seconds
And seconds turn to nothing

What are they doing?
This is but a worthless event
How could they celebrate
When the world is starting dying?

Shouldn't we celebrate
When we have ended world hunger?
When no more babies are murdered?
When water level stop rising?

If you only the new year can redo
every foolishness and mistakes
Only then you can make me
Light a fire cracker and celebrate
