NEWS:

Communication overload, the television on,

Newspapers thumbed & everything´s wrong,

Kidnaps, famine, drought, fire, war & flood,

Abuse, cruelty, corruption & sorry spilt blood,

Blasphemy & bad manners, left right & centre,

In world of mad media, I don´t want to enter,

Everything has gone viral & nothing´s now real,

Prozac, pot & whiskey just to handle their spiel,

The politicians, charlatans & those of cut cloth,

Lives, frail & as disposable, as wings of old moth,

Turn the other cheek, you can´t take any more,

Turn it all off & then merely walk out of the door.
