It Was a Very Good Year

Collective fear has taken its toll

But we’re none for all – just all for one

Eyes shout what masked mouths fear to whisper

A nation’s fabric coming undone

In January 2021

A pall of suspicion cast upon neighbors

What once was nuclear now has fissured

Guns confiscated and melted into shovels

Because digging graves is fun for everyone

In January 2021

Pack the bong, hit it hard and ruminate

While you grill your lab-grown steak

Sit in your allotted 3x3 concrete space

With the flip of a switch, what’s factual is flagged

American values found only on price tags

Innocence is pestilence, ethics overthrown

Malice and lies lauded by everyone

In January 2021

A mnemonic Devil lords over the global court

Corporate oligarchs among the obedient cohorts

History tampered with, under constant review

Like a child to a flame, doomed to be stunned

In January 2021

Freedom is a fantasy land far, far away

And all you need to get there is a chemical gateway

Sit back and bask in the solitary indulgence

Because what is done cannot be easily undone
