2021 - Bring It On

entry picture

On planet earth the new year is welcomed in its 2021

It just arrived meekly and quietly well I’ll be a son of a gun

No jubilant crowds watching fireworks it’s just been done

I just wanted to celebrate and have some annual fun

There’s nowhere to hide now you got me on the run

You truly took me by surprise hello 2021

 

We said our last goodbyes to 2020 farewell ya man

Most folk just put it all behind them it if they can

The Pandemic solution was lockdown a master plan

Around and around in circles and tiers we all ran

Experts they were dazed and confused more than

Mindless politicians absolutely clueless what a sham

 

Statistics on the TV inform us of the daily toll of death

Died for any reason? I’m not holding my breath

We all clap loudly for the NHS who labour under stress

Support workers still on minimum wage and duress

Amazon and corporations alike get richer more or less

Freedom of speech! where’s David Icke what a holy mess

 

 I have a dream and a vision of hope for 2021

That across the kingdom deliverance will come

At the end of the tunnel a healing light for everyone

Hopefully the vaccine rollout will get the job done

We got knocked down but we got up again my son

Bring it on give me all your love right now 2021

Dear Tom, thank you for this poem. What an accurate an honest reflection of 2020 as well as the hope and appreciation that stems from such a year. Here's hoping that nature can have some peace after everything humans have put it though. Thanks for the shout out to the healthcare workers! I have some varying reflections of covid too through some of my poems (insights which may be surprising for other's given my professional role).

Keep writing and being your true, authentic self.

Best wishes,
Rasa
