L'aura del Campo

2020/2020 [220]

2020/2020

Seeing double

looking forward
looking back

we wrap ourselves in golden pasts
we try to grasp a shiny future

and begin to argue
as fights break out.

Is this the best of times?
It's very bad times

a year of utter chaos

no winners anywhere.

Can you see clearly now —
the smoke has cleared

and what remains?
Just the dead and dying.

The Not-So-Daily Poem  (13+) The Daily Poem's Laid-Back Sibling - Paused #2133562 by Jayne

PROMPT: Write a poem about seeing 2020 off. Will you send it away with a bang or a whimper? Is it dependent on something external? Maybe 2020 hasn't bothered you all that much. That's fair, too.
