Tick tock tick tock
Time ticks away
Soon will come the end
Of another hate filled day
Another murder, another rape
The carnage never ends
Another child molested
Another politician condescends
Another brutal dictator
Butchers and destroys
Another antiquated government
Comes up with useless ploys
Another earthquake or flood
Another fire or war
It’s like the local news
Covers nothing more
Is there nothing left but hate?
in this wretched world
Are violence and anger?
All we have left to hurl?
Is there no love?
Left in the land
Nothing of neighbors
Lending a hand?
How about a report
On a cure for Cancer or Aids
Or peace prevails
And hatred fades
No not a chance
We like destruction and pain
Oh look, what joy
Ten more days of rain
I Hate The News! ! !
Very clever and well written thank you. Its sad but you are right
