I used to watch the evening news Each time I did, I got the blues Took the remote and tried to choose Upbeat stations that would amuse Election year adds to the mix Look at the list -- who are these picks? A narcissist who gets his kicks From firing those who aim to fix Another choice -- resurrected More like drafted than selected Candidates are more suspected Anything goes -- get elected What of Jill Stein of Green Party? She's a doctor, a true smarty Doesn't appeal to the farty Who only know "Party Hearty!" There's no question media confuse Ignorant minds to pay their dues The IRS is just a ruse Global elite we should accuse Now the census looms up ahead They say we have to count each head Just what we need to cause more dread When our cupboard is out of bread Not only that, Covid19 Appears on each and ev'ry screen Like Crown of Thorns that we have seen It's our penance for what we've been The rising deaths create a chart That hopefully will help restart Economies that came apart Any flat lines will give us heart So, here we are -- 2020 Mayhem is in Land of Plenty Wastrels watching every penny They pretty soon won't have any How do we wake from this nightmare? It may be time to start to care At least we can become aware Once this is done, we'll have clean air Recognized Author Notes Think of de Ruiz's second agreement in "The Four Agreements"- NEVER TAKE ANYTHING PERSONALLY. If we do, ego rules our life.
