Read the news and it’s all bad –
The murders and attacks.
A pleasant story here and there
Is surely what it lacks.

A little boy en route from camp
Is killed for being trusting.
The details, rendered bit by bit
Are sordid and disgusting.

A gunman on a rampage
Takes out scores of folks inNorway
He dresses as a cop and strolls
Into a youth camp doorway.

On top of that, the government
Is almost out of money.
I don’t know all the details
But the outlook isn’t sunny.

I don’t know all the details
But the outlook isn’t sunny.
The stories pile up, one by one;
Not one can coax a smile.
Sometimes I envy those secluded
On a desert isle!
