Gaia, about face 2022!

Test your classic lore.

Let's take ancient gods to task

planet by planet.

Tell two-faced Janus

to send 2021

to the systems edge.

Saturn's malfeasance –

devouring starving children

all too much this year.

We are not grateful

for raging, bellicose Mars

sending Pluto souls.

Neptune, sea cradle,

be environment conscious,

save what lives in you,

Boss man Jupiter,

when will you hold court

for politicians?

Luna, pull the reins,

listen to women sing

songs of equity.

Sol Invictus, blaze!

Evaporate toxic mists,

warm the hearts of men.

Mercury, go live!

Broadcast a better forecast,

2022.

Gaia, turn around.

Show Uranus to Janus –

your distant husband.

Bid Janus banish

these past sad and viral months

to farthest heavens.

You should prompt true love,

heal populist adulteries,

Venus, we beg you.

But, why blame the gods,

when we created them all?

The job's up to us!
