Millennium Song, a poem-turned-song I wrote on New Year's Eve, 1999...
Eve of the millennium
And what do I feel
Despair and tribulation
Deep sadness and fear
A night of introspection
Not a thread of what's real
As the TV drones on
With reports of world cheer
Each countdown a letdown
Each hour more pain
As I lay on the couch
Coffee cup in my hand
Singing my own song
A silent refrain
It takes more than millennium
To make a grain of sand
(More than a grain of sand
More than a grain of sand)
