2020 started with rain nonstop
The two-year-old driveway bottomed out
Arguing with the previous contractor
feels like complaining

Pregnancy reigned from my bed
I avoided all things red
Makena shots til little man’s birth
feels like complaining

Coronavirus spread in China
Wanting to share the world stood in a line-up
Too many people to count started dying
feels like complaining

For safety, we couldn’t go anywhere
Masks and job loss EVERYwhere
LA almost had clean air
feels like complaining

Knees on necks while bullets flew
Too many dead while folks in power lied to you
Use my Black face for donation why don’t you
feels like complaining

Fires started in California
Southern hurricanes eating the ground up
Did you almost miss the earthquake?
feels like complaining

Oh yeah, its an election year
Spread mud and bipartisan fear
Voting might not even matter, dear
feels like complaining

Don’t get me started on social media
Look up “brainwashed” in the encyclopedia
Gross darkness got people posting
feels like complaining

Kobe, then Boseman, then Ginsberg
the year ain’t even over
Holding traumas like ice in a glass of water
feels like complaining

What book of Revelation are we in
What year of tribulation?
Wondering if we missed the rapture
feels like complaining
