NEW YEAR (NING)
They were all celebrating a New Year’s eve
The old year was ready to leave
Some were dancing gaudily at the club
While others were busying themselves at the pub
After gulping down a few pegs
He could not carry himself on his legs
Still he managed to make his way out of the bar
But he didn’t manage to reach far
Before a drunken driver with his speeding car
Ran over him, leaving the doors of his body ajar
He lay there in the midst of the road cared by nobody
Instead of blood, wine flowed out of his body
He opened his eyes to find himself in a hospital’s emergency
He must have been there because of a good samaritan’s decency
The doctors informed him that his legs had to be amputated
This incident left him not only physically but also mentally disabled
A small mistake of his caused a deadly accident
This forever he will repent
Celebrate and welcome the New Year with an embrace
Enjoy yourself, but do it with a grace
Promise yourself and take a firm stand
That, when New Year arrives you won’t be in a trance.
“Drive yourself not to drink,
If you drink, do not drive.”
