The Last Day Poem by Deluke Muwanigwa

The last day.

Friday 31st December twenty twenty
What an ominous reflection.
31 reflects to 13
Hopefully Friday the 31st will not be like Friday the 13th
The signs have not been encouraging
Covid 19 uptrending
Cyclone Chalane upending
Friday
Might be the cry day
The last day
For many the last say

When the clock strikes midnight
I shall celebrate in hindsight
The new dawn
I will be on the phone
To one and all
Assuming I don't fall
On the terminal friday
It won't be my trial day
The day I go to purgatory
For many it's been mandatory
I wish all a safe last Friday
For December twenty twenty the last day
