Subject: The News is Bad
The News is Bad
Search the world.
Every night.
Bad news unfurled
Every night.
Search and report
Death every night.
Don't forget the taste of fear.
Bad news.
Accidents trump massacres
Terror beats common war
White thumps black
Every night.
Get it out there.
Bushfire, flood,
Earthquake. Shots
of faces, rattled.
Which stocks dived,
Every night.
How can we survive
all this Bad News?
But wait, here's happy.
Beaming sportsman,
in-zoo birth. Is this all
that's good on Earth?
