Not Watching the News

If I refuse to watch the news 

It’s not that I’m uncaring,

But rather that some people’s views 

Can lead me to despairing.


A late report about the Court

Will get my teeth to gnashing

And tales of states that won’t abort 

Will have my spirits crashing.


I do indeed take time to read

The paper so I’m knowing

The highlights of the daily screed

And how the world is going.


But on TV I will not see

Events that are unfolding,

For words are quite enough for me,

The images withholding.
