Dec 2020
Had a vision of this year we lived in
Tougher than leather
We all seem a little weathered
Misery and company
Birds of a feather
Acting like midnight will come
Make it all better
Like pain asks for the check
And leaves with December
Like Corona is a broker
Who gives back life
To every evicted homeowner
Like this six-hundred-dollar check
Will reverse your debt
And breath life back into every soul who left
Praying for a new year
Does not protect
The nurse crying on her steps
Alone
Thinking about every patient that never made it home
New Year
New Me
Nah
Same song
Same beat
Lost in this heart of darkness
Still hungry humans begging in the street
Young kids clutching tight on the heat
Because it’s cold
And mommas got to eat
Parents devoid of sleep
Not knowing if they can pay rent next week
Approaching depths so deep
New Year
New Me
Nah
Same You
Same Sheep
Playing the same old record
On repeat
Love Each Other. Don't Hope for Change. Be the Change.
