I cant watch the news it upsets me

guns, bombs and deaths really get me

I cant bear to see the reality

the blood, grief and loss,

the war noise and ruins

the hopeless and helpless and weakness and strength

for what?

I cant watch the news its so sad

when the fires and the floods are so bad

I cant bear to see the reality

the fear, hope soon dashed

The tired, shocked looks

the brave and the stalwart the grief and the gain

so tough

I cant watch the news its not good

when COVID don’t do what it should

I dont want to see the reality

the masks, fear and death

the anxiety growth

the old and the frail, the grief and the loss

just sad

I wont watch the news it’s too clear

it describes what I dont want to hear

I dont want to see the reality

inhumanity’s rife

The world’s in strife

murder and mayhem and wickedness rule

we are fools
