Good Riddance 2020

What is there to say but good riddance 2020

Living through these last 12 months and for many, the previous 4 years, was a never-ending horror show

But things are changing not just the year but the evil that haunted it

A man with unlimited power and a virus with an unmasked goal

Prayers seemed to have gone unanswered

But the truth be known, we brought this on ourselves

There is no one else to blame

May we truly take stock and change our ways

For ignorance, selfishness, and hubris are sins, not values, for which we must all pay.

Happy New Year

2021

Good riddance indeed.
I would like to see a LOT more talk about responsibilities and less about rights in 2021. The world over.
Here's to a Happy, Hopeful, Healthy New Year.

I once read that people get the government they deserve. And the more I immerse myself in US politics I agree. Hello? The President can make an hour long phone call suggesting vote rigging and he's not charged with a crime? And many in his party back him up? Why? Fear of retribution? Let's hope and pray Jan 20 ends the madness and ushers in a brave new world.
