2025 begins with fear

Same as the past year.

Blood in the streets.

Car, gun, bomb meet

In the mind poisoned

By hatred too many rejoice in.

Don't focus just on his flag,

Killers will wave any number of rags.

Reactions are predictably shrieked,

Systemic response will be weak.

Go ahead, get on your knees and pray

Before we suffer another 2025 day.
