~ Channels change and minutes crawl Depression sets the evening tone Baseboards dream along the hall As I sit here all alone Hard is but my easy chair Heavy eyes, a weeping tear Someone ***** the anchors share Communities are filled with fear Shadows dance in lightening flash Storms they rage on either side Floods of sorrow, endings crash A wonder I’d just rather hide Bad news blaring all around Every station sets the page Perfect hair and smiles found Reading prompters from the stage How can they just sit and grin Stack their papers nice and neat As the world explodes again People living in the street Hurricanes destroying hope Jets are falling from the skies Another bust, a ton of dope Politicians spewing lies Mother’s crying, sons are dead Shot while standing in the yard Tell us something good instead Can it be so very hard Take your cameras, microphones Find someone who’s doing right Kindness to another shown Tell us some good news tonight
