2020
Muffled, muted and masked by fear
Concealed, covered and clouded by blame
Aware, awake and alerted to smear
Arrogant, abrasive and addicted to fame
Saddened, stranded and stalled by the faithful
Discounted, disputed and disinfected by masses
Ignited, inflamed and incensed by the wasteful
Praised, proclaimed and promoted by classes
Risen, righteous and revered in apparent truth
Verbal, vindicated and victorious, everything to mend
Defeated, deflated and demoted by radical youth
Bitter, beaten and bested, nothing left to defend
