By Jake Cosmos Aller

PROMPT — I will not rest until ...

2021Dawns

Politics are still uncertain.

Thousands still are dying.


2021Dawns

The New president offers.

Hope new beginning. 2021Dawns

The Madness never ends it seems.

Consuming us all.


2021Dawns

The hope springs eternally.

We will overcome.


2021Dawns

35,000 lies.

Fading like ghosts.


2021Dawns

Politicians still lying.

Thousands still dying.


2021Dawns

Corona virus spreading.

More corona ghosts.


2021Dawns

There is New hope in the air.

Will politics kill it?


2021Dawns

The news stills scream death and despair.

I turn it all off.


2021Dawns

As I wake up at dawn.

I see my sleeping wife.


2021Dawns

We wait for the coming fires.

End of the world fears.


2021Dawns

Q continues to spread hate.

Millions still follow him.


2021Dawns

Will optimism and love?

Overcome the hate.


2021Dawns

Many questions still remaining.

I have no answers.


2021Dawns

With hope I leap out of my bed.

Watching TV kills hope.


2021Dawns

Will this be the end of my days?

Will I overcome it?


2021Dawns

2020 hangover.

Like a dark nightmare.


2021Dawns

Politicians still refusing.

To do anything.


2021Dawns

The rich are still getting richer.

The poor remain poor.


2021Dawns

We hope the past will fade away.

Into dark memories.


2021Dawns

I wake up hoping for best.

Dreading worst to come.


2021Dawns

I am still alive thank god.

Filled with love for wife.
