2020

Happy New Year everyone! I hope you all are happy and safe. Today I am sharing a special post with all of you. A lot of you may not know this about me but I love to write. My favorite is poetry. I know that my blog does not get read by a lot of people but those of you who do take the time to read it I wanted to share with you something I wrote. I am working on a book of poetry and what kind of writer/poet would I be if I did not write about 2020. I wrote this poem as a reminder of all that went down in 2020 and I only hope you enjoy reading it. It will be a sneak peak to one of my poems in my poetry book this year!

2020

The world we live in is no longer the same

Everything of it we know has changed

We’ve been shut down and living in fear

Unable to visit the ones we hold dear

Jobs are even harder to come by

Unemployment is at its ultimate high

The unemployed are making more than the those working the front lines

The news reports half truths and lies

Cops killing people as people record it live

Protestors protesting for black lives

Looters looting wearing mask while giving each other high fives

As the numbers for COVID continue to rise

Kids can no longer go to school

How and what they learn will be up to you

Voting time is around the corner and will be here soon

Buying online is what we’re being forced to do

With most stores being closed you can’t buy something new

Good thing for apps that at least let you buy things used

It’s time to wake up people, stop being fools

Live your life bc you one have one

Find a hobby, exercise and have fun

If you run out of things to do you’ve won

Oh how I miss the live music, movies, concerts and malls

I can see why some people feel trapped within there own walls

Not realizing how easy it is to just go out

Enjoying nature is part of the beauty in life

Going forward and living with strife

God forbid you sneeze in public

People look at you funny and think you got COVID

Bye bye went the flu

Now people waiting to get on line for a vaccine that may or may not help you

Churches door no longer open

But why..? Think...

The government doesn't want the lord's word spoken.
