In Retrospect
2020 S-S-S-S-SUCKED
On this one thing
I think we can all agree
The whole world
Has been tipped upside down
And we’re not out of the woods yet
Partly because our politicos
Are lost in their own hypocrisy
The bodies are stacking up
At a rate so alarming
That we hardly even notice anymore
While militant marchers
Protest for their right
To spread disease
They’re not concerned
That it’s the poor, sick and elderly
That they’re harming
Our country is more divided
Than it has ever been before
The world economic meltdown
Is undeniable
So McConnell says “here’s 600 bucks”
We can spend 84 billion
On just one kind of fighter jet
Then tell the American taxpayer
“Y’all can go get fucked”
Our president is golfing away the pandemic
As if the blow from a 7 iron
Could vanquish the beast
If 70 million people
Honestly believe our electoral process is compromised
Then democracy as we know it is deceased
It seems we’ve fallen down
That rabbit hole into wonderland
Mad hatters everywhere
And an orange king screaming
“OFF WITH THEIR HEADS”
Now we’ve turned the kingdom over
We hope, to a better man
Only time will tell
If he is worthy of our cred
But don’t be disillusioned or disappointed
Don’t lose hope, my friend
The night is always darkest
Just before the dawn
No matter how distraught or how dreary
Life looks in the end
It’s in our nature to adapt and carry on
