The Year No One Wanted

 

This is the year no one wanted.

Homes turned to prisons.

Livelihoods, hated

Born as gilded dreams

 

 

This is the year we didn’t want.

It forced us

Think.

Of yesterday, today,

The

If, of tomorrow

 

The far distance of another day

Has never looked so close

So shadowed

Till today
