Bye 2020 / Hello 2021 / Some Haikus for You

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UC Berkeley chapter.

Thank you for reading

I wanted to write one poem

Wrote many instead

 

Can’t seem to focus

Especially not on school 

Mind occupied by fear

 

Never been more afraid

Morning of Election Day

Most important yet

 

Nation divided

Scarf news like never before

Terror has gripped us

 

Clear lack of justice

It demands your attention

Vote vote vote vote vote

 

We have the power

To make significant change

Patience, a virtue

 

Let’s hope these age well… 

My wish for 2-0-2-1?

Cooperation.

 

The year has flown by

Feels like March has just begun

No chance for do-over?

 

A cough or a sneeze

Nothing can go unnoticed

A hug or handshake

 

A year without death?

A year without violence?

A year without hate?
