Bad News

Read the early morning paper

In the early morning light

Some boy killed another

While I slept last night

A mother beat her children

One has an injured head

One barely alive

The other one is dead

Why all the bad news

Is there not any good

People starving with out food

In my own neighborhood

Someone robbed the liquor store

Someone died D.U.I.

Sitting in my morning chair

I bowed my head and Cried
