Twenty twenty
A challenging year
A deadly pandemic
Disruption and fear
A contentious election
Voter suppression
Powerful interests
Bent on repression
A totalitarian president
A Machiavellian senate
Courts packed with ideologues
Unrepentant
Protests in the streets
Hungry for justice
Videos of brutality
That haunts and disgusts us
White supremacists
And far-right factions
With powerful weapons
Emboldened for action
Fires in the West
Storms in the South
This whole year has been
A punch in mouth
Standing hours in line
To cast a vote
While legal wrangling
Might cast them all out
What else can go wrong
As we make things right
What else can go wrong
As we struggle for the life
Of Democracy?
