The poem is tittled "year 2020" and it's about a very sad and lamenting year due to a virus called covid-19. We lost so much population like never before and being forced to enhance and follow new rules for survival like putting on your mask regularly,washing of hands and keeping a distance of about a meter from one another. One may say it was hectic,chaotic and painful and that was something we've never seen or experience in our lifetime but had to adopt and live with . It's made of 3 stanzas 1.first speaking of how great year we thought we would have but very quickly people were forced to quarantine. 2.secondly speaks of how bad the year was 3.Thirdly is about acceptance.

Year 2020"

Like every mother I gave birth to you.
Hoping what is virtuous in you
Very fast you recoil my mind
To the year we suffered flood
Yet I was just two years old.

That was then, now is at the moment.
Where everything is at the movement,
The movement of confusion and regret
Since birth, these became my first...,
To count how many people infected.
Did the toll rise nor remains constant?

You hit me by shock year 2020, yes you!
You flabbergasted me year 2020,yes you!
A year of loss,pain,fear and discomfort.
Who will forget you?
Even after decades you'll still be remembered.
