Poem Title:
Poem
Out with the old year, in with the new, Welcome to year twenty twenty-two. Hoping this will be a much better year, Filled with more peace and not so much fear. Twenty-twenty was the year it all began, Covid appeared and we didn't have a plan. Hand sanitizer, wearing face masks the new norm, Keep your distance, no parties - all must conform. Twenty twenty-one was supposed to be better. The whole world obeyed precautions to the letter. But Covid kept coming - nothing seemed to work, Then came the vaccines and the world went berzerk! The world was divided on what they should do, Because the vaccines had been quickly pushed through. Some trusted the safety of the newly made shots. Others questioned their safety- get the jab they would not! Add to this mess rising prices and crime, And criminals released before it's their time, Weather patterns are freaky all over the place, And all the government wants is to talk about race. But now here we have a new year to embrace, Blank pages to fill with purpose and grace. And though last year wasn't the best of times, It gave me the inspiration to write these rhymes. 1/13/22
