perspective.



So there I was
reading the paper
on the monday after the holiday
before I went back to work

and lets face it
the news was fucking bad man
there was rape all over india
guns all over america

the new state govt
was just as corrupt
as the old, and
aren't they all?

a kid was brain damaged
with an iron bar
at a party he was invited to
but the bar throwers weren't

a much loved actor
died and the housing market
was down again for the 
thirtieth consecutive month.

and hanging out the washing
getting my brain straight
in the sunshine
it occurred to me


thats the big problem with the paper
if no news is good news.
why print anything nice?
dont make the punters happy.

fucked up world
or a beautiful place to live
too hot
or too cold.

whats your take?
