It makes you wonder
If there is anyone in this world
Who can truly say
They are not a hypocrite
Being one way or another
Conservative or liberal
Religious or not
Educated or not
Since regardless of who
Or what anyone is
None will not get offended
Sitting at a five star restaurant
Being served wine
In the water cup

New President
Joe Biden Jr.
New Vice President
Kamala Harris
1202021 inauguration
And 12121 to 12921
First ten days of
Palindrome presidency
A fitting start
Destiny fulfilled
Beginning as ending Trump
Ending as beginning Biden
2021
Barely a week goes by
And bam there it is
Global news ala Trump
Riot in US Capitol
Chaos and mayhem
Broken windows
Climbing walls
Four dead
Die hard Trumpers
Literally gave their lives
For Trump
In this day and age
Where media travels in an instant
Globally around the world
Voice and video and all
The whole world engaged
In this embarrassing spectacle
A show of true unresolved
Racial tensions and hypocrisy
Not so much the result
Of all who voted for Trump
Who were at least honest
True to their convictions
And certainly not the result
Of all the democrats and others
Who voted against Trump
And tried to prevent such an outcome
But to everyone else
Who could not on their own
By whatever standard they use
Decided to let it happen
Secretly wishing Trump as president
Giddy at the possibility
Unable to show it on the outside
Let alone actually vote for him
Just watching
And watch they did this riot
Perhaps with sense of disappointment
Maybe with some excitement
But more likely feeling proud
For not having voted for Trump
Now that his outcome is sour
But would have been proud anyway
If the riot had succeeded
Which it did not thank God
Again not because of their actions
But passive inaction
There you have it
2020
The long and treacherous
With so much death
Grief
And political strife
Who would have thought
A year with such a clear
Pattern of a number
Thousands equal to tens
Hundreds equal to ones
A pattern that will not occur
For another hundred years
And the one before
At 1919
Considered one of the worst
In American history
Perhaps signifying
The history will repeat
Itself at 2121
After this generation
Old enough to understand
Have all but passed away
But for now those of us
Who have endured through
This year of pandemic
Still alive and welcoming
The new year with hope
May the new year
Bring much awaited joy
And tranquility
Happy New Year
There really is no need
For anyone to get angry
To those who are unjust
Evil in nature
And brought harm to you
If you are a Christian
A believer in Christ
Because God will surely
Take vengeance
On your behalf
Unless you pray
On their behalf so that
God not take vengeance
Much easier said than done
Much easier
So if you cannot pray
But if you are not angry
Just be patient
As surely the sun rises tomorrow
God will show His wrath
To all those who rely on self
Revel in doing evil
And bring injustice to others
Like an ant crushed under a brick
So will their pride and spirit
Ten times over
From generation to the next
Until the fear of the Lord
Is seared into their heart
Forever and ever
Amen
