2020 grinds complete
Desperate souls seek respite
Hunger for new hope.
Spirit defiled
Innocence abandoned
Optimism sullied.
Humanity torn
Compassion brutalized
Tolerance shunned.
Wonder forgotten
Creativity ensnared
Music furloughed.
Get up from the floor
Shake your fist and stomp your feet
Make a joyful noise.
Break out of your cell
Bellow justice to the world
Sing Democracy.
Hope is eternal
Wisdom lies within your grasp
Light freedom’s candle.
