A pilot attacked;
People
pushed onto tracks.
A Central
Park murder
And ICE men
attacks.
Mistreatment
of animals;
Internet
scams.
Collapsing of
bridges
And
traffic-caused jams.
Polar ice melting
And
water-drained lakes.
Deaths from
narcotics,
Tornados and
quakes.
Voting laws
challenged
And prices
that rise.
Wars being
fought
For a leader
who lies.
Turn on the
news
And you’ll
wish you had not.
Hope fizzles
out
But it’s all
that we’ve got.
Soon we’ll
be facing
The reign of
A.I.
Yet still, I
write poems,
Though I’m
wondering why.
