I'm so done 
          with 2021
it's a leftover of promises empty
           from 2020;
words indiscrete
           ever on repeat
same old same old
           fortune does not favor the bold;
congress concerns itself 
           with lie and innuendo never shelved,
I'm ready, please take me away
           to what reality back in the day,
is there no leader well versed, honest and true
            that might represent the peoples' views?
The republic is no democracy
            when truth is hidden by power and greed.
