World News Poem by Tony Adah

There is nothing
New in the news
So cruel the gruesome gruff
That hit our broken ears
And spotlights on the trembling earth
Of quakes, tornadoes and tsunamis

The world burst still
With the heart rending hydra of its news
Yesterday nuclear botched in Russia
Today Putin is putting his hands
In the hot water boiling in Ukraine
Yesterday an Israeli child was missing in Gaza
Today Hamas is hauling missiles at Israel's missile shield

The world churns out news
At the expense of avoiding some
Bragging at its technology
Not knowing that no news is good news.
