What happened to the world after 2020?
Hard to tell who's a friend and an enemy.
What happened to just enjoying yourself?
Those evil architects are moving in stealth.
What happened to people in general?
Narcissists don't follow any schedule.
What happened to workmates getting along?
Some only listen to the same demonic song.
What happened to just being outspoken?
All I see is hesitation and voice croakin'.
What happened to respecting your next door neighbours?
They argue and drink Dead Man's Fingers in all flavours.
What happened to saying hello when casually passing?
Human interaction is consisting of many doing nasty gaslighting.

Yes, the freedom of speech now has permissions attached to it, this is called, Starmers law.
One must be careful saying hello now in case it causes offence, and definitely shouldn't make comments on FB which can get you jailed.
However, you can pretend to be selling cryptocurrency and get away with it.
Thanks pal, much appreciated.
Erm, yes, I knew a hostile guy (did I? lol). I said Hello to him. he replied 'What do you mean hello? I'll punch you on the nose for that!' (lol).
HAHAHAH
Good question in the opening line. Fun fact, we all know what happened after 2016. 🍊😱 Forgive the indulgence! 🤣 Couldn't resist. 🤷♂️ But yeah, the shite is going down the toilet it seems, anymore! And the pandemic DID NOT help...though it was not the start of it. Great write with great questions, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Thanks pal, appreciate it.
You are most welcome!
A sad situation where the world has to walk on egg shells and where people are backstabbing and ignoring. Well written my friend
Yes indeed, thank you.
You are most welcome
