The News Today

Gone astray, I can't believe the news today
A man was shot on a downtown street
while the cops were in coffee shops away from their beats.
A little girl was raped before she could speak any words,
an oilspill kills millions of birds.
Found by her husband in another mans bed,
A woman died from a shot to her head.
Drugs are a killer, thats plain to see.
Abortions takes lives of those that could be.
A young child stands by a street light $20 or something
and there yours for a night.
AIDS has no favorites. It's claimed another,
tonight... a newborn baby's mother.
Nights are not safe for walks in the park.
The moon shines bright, but thieves hide in the dark.
I didn't want to take in these words that were said,
but what choice do I have when this insanity is breed.

YES THE NEWS ANY DAY IS JUST SICK,THEY SAY NEWS,AND YES IT CAN BE GOOD SOMETIMES,BUT TO DAY IT IS WHAT YOU SEE,,CARE YOUR VIBES,,

A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
