Yesterday's News Poem by Douglas McClarty

Life goes on I think I have seen it all
More suffering, disasters, just appalling
Waking up from uneventful dreams
To find for others their world is falling apart

Then i listen to the petty words of the elite
No comfort to thirsty souls struggling to survive
Look at the destruction has Armageddon arrived
Unfulfilled promises yesterday's forgotten news.

How quickly we forget the continual suffering
Miracles seem to happen as the picture disappears
The political classes have ate all the do good pies
Voices of yesterday's victims have had their say

The media masses start to disappear one by one
In less than a heartbeat all is well lives renewed
It's seems we have been mislead by our history
Maybe, just maybe, Rome was built in a day.
