Modern Music Poem by David Thomas

Listen to the radio one day
these pop artists i can't stand
may be the only ones who sing happy songs,
for anymore i feel
that the world is sinking further and further
into this abyssmal catecomb of sadness...
anymore every song is sad or hatred,
the heart can only take so much negativity,
and i feel like the pole of positivity
amidst a negative world...
losing my composure is something i
am simply not accustomed too
walking alone on the street is fine and dandy
but seeing nothing happy around you,
this is what truly saddens me,
how far gone have we become?
that the only happy song i hear is the same old song
on repeat through several stations,
the clouds and rain constant,
they even tell me that there is a great sadness...
despite this great hope i have inside me,
and this knowledge i will make things happier,
how much more sadness must we bare
before we are to rise again?
