Death, Doom, Destruction
I don’t know about you but all I think I ever hear on the news is something not too dissimilar to this poem.
.
Death, Doom, Destruction
.
A man is stabbed to death
For naught but his left shoe
Killer’s on crystal meth
Cops’ didn’t have a clue.
.
Death, Doom, Destruction
.
The world is gonna end
Or so says some odd bloke
In a book he just penned
Wonder what’s in his smoke
.
Death, Doom, Destruction
.
Yet another bomb sent
To an innocent town
For them it was not meant
Says the nation’s top clown
.
Death, Doom, Destruction
.
And in other news here’s a puppy.

Hope you enjoy, please feel free to comment.

Exactly the view of the news crews.

Like!
Reading this one makes me feel like I’m reading my old Literature textbook.
I love the flow on each of your poems as well! Your pieces are easy to read and they don’t bore. 🙂
Btw, found you through Promising Poets’ Poetry Cafe. 🙂
I never enjoyed Lit, so whether to take that as an insult or compliment is questionable in my mind. Thank you so very much for words of such high praise, I’m sure I don’t deserve it. I’m truly glad you enjoy my poetry so much.

Interesting topic and a great way to approach it. Very good use of rhyme also.

It’s the news, there always has to be a happy end, no matter how much crap is really happening.
