Paulette Calasibetta Poet Triolet

Notes About The Poem

The perpetual government mandates, lockdowns, vaccines and masks; ignoring anarchy in our streets, flooding our country with immigrants and pitting neighbor against neighbor, family against familiy, merely a modern day war on humanity.  Sadly, the past is repeating itself, we are facing a 21st century holocaust.

Say Goodbye To 2021

Say Goodbye to 2021
                      Where greed and corruption has spewed lies,
                       Let us ring it out, be glad the year is done;
                                  Say Goodbye to 2021.
               Faced with lockdowns and mandates the contempt has begun;
                   Take back our civil liberties and once free lives,
                                   Say Goodbye to 2021
                      Where greed and corruption has spewed lies.

Valsa George January 3, 2022 at 3:28 AM "Where greed and corruption has spewed lies"---- this refrain I really liked. This has been the hall mark of 2021.

Joseph P.

Victor Buhagiar December 31, 2021 at 10:00 AM how sad that Mata was once 99% Christian. Now we have become indifferent to all. Still God is with us and I hope you will have a Happy and Healthy New Year. Paulette Calasibetta December 31, 2021 at 11:01 AM The world is definitely at odds, biblically speaking demons are always present, we just need to keep our focus on the light from above. Happy New Year Victor, Blessings, Paulette
