Haven't You Heard? Poem by Buddy Bee Anthony

Our V.P shotgunned his hunting buddy
thought he was a bird.
Missing teen confirmed dead
Haven't you heard?
Newsflash at six and eleven
All good children
won't be goin' up to Heaven,
that's assured,
Haven't you heard?
There's flooding'
all along river roads.
Mudslides washin' away heavy loads.
1300 drown on ferry boat barge.
The poor get more of nothin'
while the rich live large.
Village gone.
buried deep
under mud, muck, and sand.
You can't move up to Canada
without two hundred grand.
The Chinese launched a man
deep into space.
Our world's gettin' to be
one very crowded place.
Haven't you heard?
Shrimp boat smashed up on
rough rocky cove.
W. sold our X Y Z's
to Carl Rove.
Newscaster's tellin' us
great big lies.
Our President gets a belly ache
hell, everybody dies
that's the word,
what haven't you heard?
