083. Pick Up Another Newspaper Poem by Jaden Knight

083. Pick Up Another Newspaper



Pick up another newspaper
more headlines about death
more people in mourning
more pictures of bodies

Down the congested high streets
faceless terrorists plot and plan
to destroy more important buildings
laying their lives before their god
calling themselves martyrs
killing many innocent people

More aid is called for
supplies are getting stretched
army resources are getting sparse
no more ways to help

More deaths to read about
more lives wasted
more wars started
what is the hell is happening to this world

nicely written. what's happening? well, several things i think. there is more news coverage and photos of violence and wars than there was until since george washington was president of the U.S. of A. and especially since the internet became so BIG. also, the availability of small, lightweight, but very deadly weapons. instant communication around the world. perhaps also more? poverty in the world. not sure about that one. drugs? anyway, it sucks. thanks for sharing. bri :)
