A is for Anxiety

A poem by Beverly Stock.

B is for bomb

C is for cannon

D is for drone

E is not easy

F is for fight

G is for gamble

H is for heart

I is injustice

J is for joining

K bless Human-Kind

L is for lucky

M is for mourn

N is No More War

O if only we had won

P is pure politics

Q is for questions galore

R is for running mate

S is "Satisfaction’s (Never) Guaranteed”

T is the turning of fate

U is the unsung among us

V is your voice, did you vote?

W is the “Why?” if you did not

X on the ballot, mailed in envelopes

Y is you and I under 2020’s chaotic lens

Z is for Zapping the virus / hoping to cope.
