Going, going on,
Going, where are you going?
Can I go along?
Can I, with you, pretty please?
Going, going, don’t leave me.
*****
We read they were good
People, full of love and free
But they are all gone,
Seems another version of
People live where they used to be.
*****
2020 sees
Us, we are coping it knows –
What it plans, unknown.
*****
Poetry is hard
For AIs, grammar checkers,
Or maybe I am
More difficult than I ought
Be, I ignore some changes.
*****
Never give up, don’t
Stay on the ground once knocked down,
Keep climbing, reaching,
You are able, capable,
Be who you are when you dream.
