A Brief 2022 Overview
2022, we had such high hopes for you
Reality put a sledgehammer all the way Slicing brutality through
Like the Grinch bringing his worst present to be opened
By me
By you
A rumbling green slime COVID virus
Covered me
We can no longer see
Disrupting our normality
Extraordinary celebrations to deep commiserations
As our honourable Queen died
Many sincere tears did fall
Caught in a queue by the ordinary people
Taking to the great stage
As a once in a lifetime history was made
Now a new King takes over the graceful Queen’s steering wheel
No time for England’s united lands to heal
As many political heads did roll and fall
On the beautiful green fields
Back stabbing and bloody disagreements run deep within
How many Prime Minister’s and Chancellor’s have there been?
Rising our cost of living
A pound now worth a penny
As we go back in time to the Striking 70’s
Trains and automobiles are upping the price of fuel
Unable to catch a train
Blackouts again?
Barristers, Driving Examiners, Doctors and Nurses
The Grinch surely visited again
Wars and climate change
Heatwaves, cold and floods
The world’s landscape dug up and mixed up
Planting trees to build woods
We still see the clear blue skies
I tread my feet in the earth beneath
As I try to hold on
Hoping not much else can go wrong
2022, what have you done?
As we wait to welcome the the New Year in
2023, what will you bring?
