2020 To 2021

Our year Twenty-Twenty arrived, and as a new decade, revived pursuits of our hopes for more peace- divisions and conflicts- decrease. The first few months quickly slipped past! But, then Covid horror would last throughout the whole year- and maintain to take life away- so insane! With quarantines, normal was lost; the whirlwind of change was the cost! No traveling, gatherings, schools- just mandates of strict Covid rules. Then politics helped stoke the fire; divisions more deeply transpire. Each chaos, together, adds force to tear down our spirits, of course. But, now Twenty-One will arrive; a new-year blank slate to contrive. But, troubles from Twenty hang on to keep hope for change- somewhat gone. Yet still, we as humans, take hope in finding the best ways to cope. Words, "never say never," construe- each Happy New Year's wish comes true. December 28, 2020 ~2nd Place~ Contest: 2020 To 2021 Sponsor: Mohan Chutani Judged: 01/02/2021
