It's been eight months
Still waiting for my dad's tombstone to be put on his grave
I went to the office at his graveyard
I called the funeral home that was supposed to get his tombstone
I was told these things take time
I saw a woman who died last month
She has a tombstone with pictures of her two cats
I guess the government has more important things to do
Like reelect the orange man and other things related to the Covid-19
Maybe a year from now, my brother said
My sister seemed more worried about the fracture in the family
She is unwelcome with my brother now
My mom seems to be losing her marbles
My brother won't talk to his son over the money issue
Maybe, just maybe things will get better
In 2021 we will have a tombstone, ball players will play on the Field of Dreams
Kids will play in the Mall of America
Black people will get respect
And these masks will be just a bad memory
