Cause and Effects

What a year this has been
How refreshing it would be
If we could wipe the slate clean
Then perhaps we could see
A better future eventually

A better life for everyone
Without a thought of Virus or gun
A life where we would share and care
Making problems for the less fortunate 
Easier to bear

It's unrealistic to think this way
When the world we knew
Has gone astray
All of us have a need
For Peace on Earth
Without Power or Greed
