Goodbye 2020
There's chaos and destruction, death and despair.
My time here is running out, so what do I care?
Babies and grand babies need a safe place to play.
Without some pervert standing less that a foot away.
Young people being killed by the ones hired to protect
Aretha would be heartbroken in this land of no respect.
Death consumes life daily, still the body counts rise.
Like a time clock keeping count when someone else dies.
Evil in a business suit pursues ungodly deeds.
Uses the power of his authority to fulfill carnal needs.
Everyone preys on everyone, only the strong will survive.
Natural selection population control, who'll imake it out alive?
From the back to the beginning of any history book.
You'll see where we're headed. It's in there. Take a look.
We didn't just deny the Father, we omitted him totally.
So we can't possibly ask him to keep our country free.
Holiday gatherings aren't safe. It's best to stay inside.
But lets send our kids to school where there's nowhere to hide.
So good bye 2020, I can't say I don't want you to go.
Will 2021 be any better? God I sure hope so.
