There’s no news like bad news.
Do you ever get the feeling
That no one is allowed to be happy
Human beings define their reality
Through suffering and misery
Where’s hope in the despair?
Through the looking-glass, Alice found there
Tumbling down a rabbit hole
No news like bad news
“Give the people what they want!”
Torture ensues
Paid for eternal damnation
Bankers with vivid imaginations
Misery begets misery
It loves company
Going together like,
Punishment and gluttony
Venting with no action consumes
Like the stench in a crowded room
Be careful
Who you tell good news to
Because they might just
Take your joy from you
Like a blood sucking tick
These people will make you sick
Summertime, yet the livin’ isn’t easy
Sadness has us on lockdown,
Like a penitentiary
And yet the cash continues to flow
The melancholic money train
The pound sterling of sorrow
We have a violence fetish
As if we are disturbed
Perhaps we enjoy killing a little too much
Just what sort of wrath will we incur?
The desolation of the desert
A state of wretchedness can we avert?
Death, destruction, mayhem
Entrée for the 6 o’clock news
Divorce, DV, murder…
Palestine and the Jews
Housing, inflation, cost of living pain
Oh wait I forgot Russia-Ukraine!
We’re going through a miserable monsoon
In peak wet season
A sadness tsunami – no honeymoon
A mental health crisis, not without reason
May I stand unshaken
When happiness has been forsaken…
