er, happy new year

its everywhere, it must be the way

fire burned up the end of may

2020 the year of plenty

plenty of suffering; plenty of sorrow

plenty of nothing left for tomorrow

we are centuries later with little noted change

a great division exists among people in every range

education is still a privilege available to buy

if money were no issue and living was on high

if people were paid what they were worth

and manners, courtesy, and respect flowed forth

from all who lived on this big blue thing

if we all practiced tolerance and forgiveness reigned

isn’t it about time we all got a clue

be friendly, kind and support those who are true

people aren’t that different whether near and far away

maybe 2020 will rid humanities decay.
