Not you 2019!!! Happy New Year

Hello Rhymers!!! Welcome to Rhyming Vibes. The power of poetry can never be overrated because words reach ears while poems reach heart. Hence the idea of this blog is to transmit the goodness and vibes of one heart to another with the subtle power of poetry. So take a plunge and let the rhyming vibes resonate through your conscience.

The first post of a blog ought to be your best, in order to impress your potential audience and get them hooked, right?!! But hey! that's conventional wisdom, and who cares about numbers and tactics when it comes to heart?! Let's start with a poem that emits some positive and progressive vibes, even if it might not be a great one to start a blog.

I wrote this poem in anticipation of a great year 2019. I know the 'New' year is already 'old' enough, but my corporate friends would vouch that 'The Year' ends with financial year, so this poem might well be relevant even today.

This poem is essentially to emphasize that each passing year is always the same and we should stop expecting the new year to be different. We should rather expect ourselves to change ourselves for good with each coming year, or each coming day for that matter.
Cheers!!!

Not You! 2019

Another year that’s just flown by, 

Sapped me dry and smiled so wry.
Failed resolutions, unfulfilled dreams,
You too! 2018

Political charade emitting negative vibes,

Threatening harmony with intolerant jibes.
Decaying trust, waning sheen,
You too! 2018

Creating wealth, leaving health on sides,

Chasing success, in fast-paced lives.
Forwarded messages, selfies' gleam,
You too! 2018

Enough is enough, lets draw a line,

Let positive vibes, resonate and realign.
Rejuvenated spirits, self esteem,
Not you, 2019!

Sharing time with kin, not smileys online,

Spending on impoverished, not temples or shrines.
Righteousness and spirits clean,
Not you, 2019!

Running for health, not overrating wealth,

Striving for oneness, no hatred in stealth.
Peace galore, love extreme,
Not you, 2019!
               - Dr. Prashant Bhatt
