I Turned On The News Today Poem by Vera Sidhwa

I Turned On The News Today



I tripped over the TV cord.
It turned my TV on.
I had decided not to watch it.
I had sworn.

But the content of the news,
I attracted me, I don't know why.
It was sad, it was tragic.
I turned it off.

The news makes it seem the whole world is happening that way.
And that's why I watch it I do.
But finally I turned the TV off.
I wanted it to be that way.
