A slowly grinding wheel
moving at the speed of light
how exactly did we get here?
has time cheated us now?
we celebrate a new year
but long for good old days
we look forward to next year
but wish we could go back
is this wheel moving us forward?
or taking us in circles?
are we stuck in a time loop?
or are we on reverse?
are the good days over?
is this our anticipated future?
we dream of a bright future
since sixty five years ago
when will this future come?
or are the good days over?
