The Tingler Lingers

It lingers, magic fingers
 of the rich and greedy tingler,
 just when you hoped 2020 was over
the itchy touch returns over and over;
 a sore throat, a loud voice in exasperated attempts to vent
just when you thought we found success it is spent;
 the loud emboldened demands recur again and again
America continues to burn, and covid intensifies now and then ;
 if only the bully and the fight endowed
focused on the citizens cold night shrouds,
 mankind just wants to live and retain
the sanity we have yet to regain.
