SAD NEWS
As I sit here listening to the news
there is nothing I care to hear
images of horror and death
no matter where I turn my head
tears cried in terror
tears cried in shame
no one's absorbing
the meaning of these tears
bombs exploding
gunmen on the run
people laying in pools of blood
camara's get a close up of all the dead
to have something like this happen
when I am just living my daily life
standing in line at bank
even traveling, just another of my fears
news like this cause that sinking feeling
the one in the pit of my stomach
it makes me what to just cry out
"PEOPLE PLEASE STOP THE MADNESS"
but life goes on just one more day
the news growing more violent
are we about to see the end of time
how much more of this can we stand
I hope we get it together real soon
for I still have things to see
I look forward to the day
that all the news is good
but I am not going to hold my breath.
