2021 a year in review? Another year that a lot of us still sucked, and learned nothing new.
We started with an insurrection– a public display of white male’s dysfunctional erection.
Watched an impeachment, where justice just failed, and logic was jailed.
Mittens on Bernie, became a mental health journey.
Rush Limbaugh died, and only awful people cried.
No one watched the super bowl, because half its viewers are in burial holes.
Musk became more hated, I’m sure Bezos was elated.
The Suex Canal did an interpretive dance– of economy collapse.
Meghan and Harry talked to Oprah, just a public soap opera.
Nasa landed again on mars, while most American’s spread the ‘rona at bars.
Johnson and Johnson was wrongly used in rhetoric duel for conspiracy fuel.
It was debated on the right wing, mr. potato head’s lack of ding-a-ling.
We let another monster run free, puddin’ pop molester Cosby.
Water started to run low, bet most of you didn’t even know.
Ivermectin.
Six hours without the f-book had us all shook.
Oh, and still the fires burn– but it seems to be of little concern.
Climate change is roaring, but I guess it’s too boring?
Covid and common cold got together, now omicron causes heart damage forever.
We launched another telescope in space, because we gotta jump planets at this pace.
And to top off my short list of how this year went, Betty White died– 2021, get bent.

If adulthood is really just getting used to the unsettling feeling of turmoil forever living inside your guts–

then I don’t wanna live in this hood.

Disappointment keeps me up at night

These bags under my eyes are packed with grief

We deserve it.

When you figure out

it’s never been you

and it’s always been

WE

Maybe then

you, too, will feel this gravity.

We gambled with new information

and laughed at studied skill.

We only put trust in convenience,

blind to the blood we spill.

A new kind of non-conformist,

paving the way with lies.

An only-me attitude,

Regardless of who cries.

is there anyone else out

there struggling to keep

their thoughts of humanity

out of the hellish frame

that it’s being poured into

by force feeding yourself

videos of humanity

not sucking?

They stand so tall

Unwilling to look ahead

Unwilling to plan for a fall

.

Ignorance runs like tap

They take what they want

Consequence falls to the children’s lap

.

They rely on bias lie

Curse the efforts

Then pray to the sky

.

Tradition is a tool

An excuse to continue, not learn

A blind for the fool

To the children that exist now,

And will be my babies someday,

Momma is here, and she’ll hold you when she can.

Your life will find peace, just hold on.

Our time together is coming.

Why is it

That you can be

Secure in the arms of many

But that’s not enough

To soothe the sting

Of being wronged

By one
