Who knows that after
Year 2018 and year 2019
After all the laughter
A year full of anxieties
The beginning of the year
Was so unpleasant
With eyes full of tears,
Teaching us a lesson.
Disease and destruction everywhere
Never know when happiness will be found
Only shrinks and cries here and there
No medicine can recover this wound
This is year 2020
The worst ever possible
Full of tragedies
And everything is plausible
Was it all planned already?
To see the horrible
I thought it’s just in fantasy
But now I think it’s possible.
Lost so much of ours
No idea how long this would last
This year has left behind so many years
But well, this is all just a start
Many legends, so far are lost
Nothing can ever compensate their cost
Seems like the world’s ending up in frost
And many will remain as our past
All of the bad memories
Will soon turn to reality
We all have to get ready
For the next tragedy
This is year 2020
The worst ever possible
Full of tragedies
And everything is plausible
Was it all planned already?
To see the horrible
I thought it’s just in fantasy
But now I think it’s possible
