BROKEN NEWS
April 17 Year of the Snake
Kim Jong Un, in North Korea
Threatens war; thermonuclear
Pyongyang ready to attack?
Seoul defences, watch your back!
Meanwhile, over in USA
Boston bombers have their say
Finish Line, so near, so far
In the long run, fatal scar
Cyprus, China; here's an oddity
Blamed for price fall in commodities
Crude Oil, Gas, as bad as Gold
Stack it high and get it sold!
British public on its best
Maggie Thatcher, laid to rest
Past mistakes now glorified
Cameron's actions justified
That's the news, now here's the weather
This winter chill might last forever
So wrap up warm and stay indoors
Await the war to end all wars

ReplyDeleteToo many tears. Too many.
And not enough answers...Not enough.
Gloomy news. Where's the final animal story? Don't we get something to round it off with a tranquilising chuckle?
ReplyDeleteThanks Misky ;0
DeleteThe world is mostly horrible right now. The end could be a relief.
ReplyDeleteSad n' true...captured succinctly.
ReplyDeleteThanks Hannah :)
DeleteCrumbs, loved the way you wrote this, hard hitting and true. Hate the idea of the last line though. Nicely written.
ReplyDeleteThanks Andy :)
ReplyDeleteThe end may be near, Stan. The world is a disaster. Well said.

Thanks Pamela :)
DeleteYou've summed it up well and with economy. Too bad the leaders of the world aren't poets, or at least read poetry. But then, maybe poetics would be changed to something we wouldn't want to do,

Thanks Elizabeth :)
DeleteSeems like the world is broken and nobody knows how to fix it. In the words of Walter Cronkite: "And that's the way it is."
ReplyDeleteThanks Marianne :)
