The Year 2020 Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

You are not an ordinary year
Your purpose and intention are well know
You came not to please the heart of Mankind
You came to announce the birth of a new world order
You came to dispense a new version of human-to-human relations
You came to prescribe social distancing
You came to describe poverty and inequality
You came to subscribe to the school of good governance
You came to subdue any form of selfishness
You came to overcome all forms of misconceptions and untruths
You came to erase all signs of lies and deceit
You came to erect a new form of uncertainty
You came to undress our weakest points
You came to address our stagnant spiritual development
You came to harness a new form of spirituality
You came to denounce all forms of spiritual bondage
You came to cleanse our churches, schools and sports arenas
You came to fumigate our streets of all forms of crime
You came to reveal the hidden face of abuse in the workplace
You came to open a dialogue on domestic violence
You came to show us the true heroes in our society
You came to open a new era of face masks
