Every time I listen to the news
I hear something horrible
Today's tragedy
reminds me
to expect
needless grief
to expect
questionable realities
to expect
unwarranted fatalities
Every time I listen to the news
I am reminded that
we are not all humane
we are not all able to avoid the insane
we are not all able to remain free from pain
we are not all humane
I hear something horrible
Today's tragedy
reminds me
to expect
needless grief
to expect
questionable realities
to expect
unwarranted fatalities
When can I expect a change
when will the forecast be something strange
When will I hear of
people without strife
People living life
people giving hope
people not selling dope
people adopting children and pets
people feeding the homeless and our vets
people sharing what little they may have
people helping people without expectation
Every time I hear the news
