News, News Poem by Han Min Ohn

Here is a news, there is a news
Not many of them escape the sarcastic point of view.

Here is a suicide bomber, there is a blast
In an air-strike somewhere innocents are crushed.

Here is a revolution, there is a riot
Armed forces somewhere violate people's many rights.

Here is a quake, there is a fire
There are many natural disasters that make people suffer.

Here is a famine, there is a drought
Helps are insufficient but are being given out.

Here is an unemployed, there is a beggar
The government is responsible for such disgraceful figures.

Here is a news, there is a news
Too much of them every day is making my mind screwed.
