35,000 lies.
Fading like ghosts.

Politicians still lying.
Thousands still dying.

More corona ghosts.

There is New hope in the air.
Will politics kill it?

The news stills scream death and despair.
I turn it all off.

As I wake up at dawn.

2020 hangover.
Like a dark nightmare.

Politicians still refusing.
To do anything.

The rich are still getting richer.
The poor remain poor.

We hope the past will fade away.
Into dark memories.

I wake up hoping for best.
Dreading worst to come.

I am still alive thank god.
Filled with love for wife.
