Masked In the Year 2020

Recycled Breath from fear Lipstick becomes art on cloth Life now begins with a test The rainbow has become dark Police are now attacked Burning buildings left in ashes Normal has disappeared Life is now on televisual news Holding us captive by lies Free money sent in vain Shoring politics fills the air Unemployment zooms No room for the poor Tragedy and death from the insane Each day I awake to the same When Will It End?

Bobby, vibrant reflection of our upside down year. Your description covers it all succinctly. End of poem so captures the sentiment. We're not sick, just sick of it!
