02022020 is a palindrome

Poem:

You can concentrate on seeing the big star, the moon and the inner Sun like using your head like a telescope. That is the best way to learn to cope. You are not head commissioner of correction of the past that is someone else’s task. Just paying attention to the present could be your progress. Your knees bent in submission could be your chief political position. If you have no cravings you become by default Buddha. You could leave some food for the hungry ghosts just as a joke. You can pray for wisdom daily and hope you get it.
