no one reviews a book ere it is read
or a movie before it is over
or a dinner prior to eating it
so how to review a year after only
a quarter of it completed
a challenge for certain
where will we go from here
the year started out promising
2020 rolls over the tongue
a fine sounding year
anticipations at high level
before diving into novel coronavirus
COVID 19, scary words
fear abounds, jobs lost
families devastated, left weeping
where do we go from here
there are always positives
coming out of negatives
water is cleaner, air is purer
a note to powers in high places
will you let go of your greed
will you bring in safer ways
keep the earth healthy
let goodness overcome money
let remaining peoples live
true progress is in your hands
a challenge for certain.
