I turned 34 two months ago. Aren't we all quickly moving through the passage of time?With a mere few weeks left before a new year arrives, what have we achieved? What has changed? what has remained the same? The cowboy still rides off to the sunset with the prettiest maid; the glass slippers still fit only the prettiest of the three sisters; glittering gem stones still dorn the costume of kings, dull unattractive common charcoal still burns in the hell fires of a furnace.
Aren't the damned still damned, the doomed still doomed; doesn't the world still stage the same scripted play of injustice from sun up to sun down.

URNING and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity
WB Yeats
