(We had a zoomed family holiday poetry slam. Here’s my poem.)
2020 Farewell,
A year from Hell;
A year of years,
Of fears and tears.
A sickness spread across the land,
The president without a plan,
A sickness of our national soul,
Fallen into a deep black hole.
Half the country gone insane,
Backing that evil monster’s reign,
Embracing his every lie;
How many had to die?
With children in cages,
Among countless outrages.
The choice was stark,
Between light and dark.
And when finally voted out,
Reality he did flout,
Trying to overturn the vote,
To cut our democracy’s throat.
And so we’ve been tested,
But were not bested;
Up against a wall,
We’ve come through after all.
And in the end,
We’re on the mend.
We did not fail;
We shall prevail.
