RESOLUTIONS

Abounding everywhere
from bodies that govern
to speeches or preaches,
mostly high of purpose
grand, well intentioned,
sponsors in self acclaim
padding, congratulating
themselves with aplomb,
a hard task completed
all seemingly well done.

So it is with us as well
our resolutions personal
most aimed to improve
ourselves, our well being,
remedy many short falls,
overcoming, progressing 
becoming a better person,
rethinking, remaking our
psyches, our personal self,
recasting our inner image
reflecting on our outer self.

Drawbacks and handicaps
once resolutions thus made
no strong enforcement face
our attemted solutions thus
too, soon waived, forgotten
a short lived blip
on the vast horizon.
