The News Poem by John Bliven Morin

The News



Did you watch the telly
last night? It was awful!
That terrible earthquake,
and then those dreadful waves
washing hundreds away,
most of them young children;
Husbands without wives,
wives without husbands,
mums without children,
children without mums;
The morgues full of death;
And now disease
and starvation
ahead for them,
so awful we
can only
imagine
the horror.
Please, dear,
pass the
tea.
