As the new years sparklers burn bright
I find myself closing my eyes
Reflecting on the past year
Some call a nightmare
Right off the bat with the wildfires
Cooking Australia
Surrounded by clouds of confusion
And wisps of smoke
Only washed away by the floods who hit harder
Harder than the plane crash that killed a legend and his legacy
Harder than the multiple crashes and explosions that no one seems to notice
Cause its all covered in the giant cloud of coronavirus that hides what some call the less important stuff
Just cause it doesn’t affect you, doesn’t mean it hits any less hard
So we distract ourselves by reading Harry Potter
Sucks for you cause you hate your favorite author
Cause she doesn’t respect transexual people
Being LGBTQ i know a fraction of the pain that all these people felt
Yet being half coloured i don’t know a single thing of what the discriminated people felt
10 years ago my idol Shane Koyczan shared a poem named we are more
And 10 years ago, we were more
3 years after that he decided to not present it anymore
Because not only Canada, but a bunch of other places weren’t more anymore
7 years later we still have fallen apart
In 2003, the Black Eyed Peas released a song titled Where Is the Love?
17 years later we still don’t know the answer
Now in 2020, we still aren’t more
And the 1.79 million people who have died from covid and all the people who cared about them
They have had a very tough year
And I thank whoever is up there every morning because no one i love has been affected
Now with all the protests and action we don’t have a second to think about everyone who has lost someone
Now Cancer and old age don’t matter as much?
What kind of logic is that?
Anyway
That's my opinion on this nightmare of a year
I hope it's the end
And I pray it's not the beginning of something much more terrible...
