Don’t Bring Me Down
Back in the day
when promotions depended on it
I would follow the news
swallow the news
Like some breakfast cereal
that’s supposed to be good for me
ABC, NBC
CBS, CNN
when I woke in the morning
when I got home from work
before I went to bed
cramming current events into my head
til I was sick with it
Paranoid depression
Doom and gloom
hate mongering flag waving cross bearing
left wing right wing
end of times
To save my sanity
had to turn the tv off
throw it out the window
Now
Today
I’m feeling the same way
about my computer
The internet
Facebook, especially
distracting me
from my works
disrupting my peace
I’m not here for this
