Some rhymes for new years

Seems to me,
there ain't enough songs about the new year,
the one we pass by to right our wrongs splashing liqour with "cheers,"
if I have too much tonight I wonder just how many will see my rear,
end, but I can't bend on the position I've taken,
that I won't take coke in my brandy, straight up is the potion I'm makin',
and point me towards that keg of Summit,
Straight down Franklin ave. towards Reddirty's place, my girl will make sure I don't plummet,
down flights up stairs,
so we walk in pairs,
this last drink with you I'll share,
prepare, the music and laughs,
and I'll repour the fluids but I'll pass on your stash,
whitey, I sure wish you were here with us on this night,
but I know you got dreams to chase down and you got every single one of them in your sights,
pulling triggers?
nah, pull my finger,
ha ha, I'm the bringer,
the bearer of good news,
sober or full of booze,
the path you travel is the one you choose,
but it's hard to get off once you select a trail,
so put a fist up, put your hand in mine and we'll all prevail,
together, yeah we got cold weather,
disasters, war and distrust, but hope is in the air,
breathe it in you must,
discuss all topics, don't argue, keep an open mind,
but for tonight, put away the spite, and you'll find,
we're really all a lot more alike than we'll ever like to admit,
and once we realize that we'll be all the better for it,
I transmit, this message worldwide,
I'm so committed to what's in our self-interest...all of humankind,
depends on us all,
Happy new year,
live in the now,
but don't forget about impending tomorrow,
and we'll have smiles through our sorrows.
