Hate is all I see
Ignorance abounds
Percolating violence
Unsilenceable rounds
Fire in the night
3 more dead at dawn
This is entertainment
All compassion is gone
Fight for a scrap
Kill for a crumb
This is what’s important
Let yourself go numb
This is what we asked for
Cannot turn away
Let’s all watch the news
Perfect ending to our day
Joey Barden is no poet.
Boy, this is the truth. I’ve been unplugged from the TV news and I may be in the dark, but it’s a lot kinder here. Good message and well said.
