We all have had a crappy year.
No more Sugarcoating.
The pandemic has taken so much from us
No more Sugarcoating
Relying on our governments hasn’t brought us any relief,
No more Sugarcoating
Christmas will be an anticlimax
No more Sugarcoating
Due to cyclones and other disasters some of us have no homes
No more Sugarcoating
Due to covid some of us have no jobs nor any way of making a living
No more Sugarcoating
Loved ones have been lost due to man-made disasters, as well as directly or indirectly due to the pandemic
No more Sugarcoating
We can pray, curse or stare apathetically or in disbelief
No more Sugarcoating
We are all still reeling from blow after blow
No more Sugarcoating
My dear fellow humans, we are told to make the best of it
No more Sugarcoating
Best of what we may well ask,
No more Sugarcoating.
We’re told, ‘Best of what you have now,’ which is almost nothing
No more Sugarcoating
Let them not pull the wool over our eyes
No more Sugarcoating
Don’t sugarcoat what we’ve been through
Please, no more Sugarcoating
Lies and deceit we’ve been hearing all year
No more Sugarcoating
Its about time we open our eyes and see things as it is
No more Sugarcoating
It’s about time we stand up and say enough is enough
No more Sugarcoating.
So, my beloved humans
Let’s end this year contemplating what was and is, now
No more Sugarcoating
Try to rebuild our lives, because we are resilient and strong
Without any more sugar coating
To end, May the true meaning of Christmas, the birth of our Saviour, be in our hearts always
Without any more Sugarcoating
Love always,
~ T ๐
