The Six o Clock News

 

Worry not, weep not, keep anger at bay

stay calm despite what others might say.

They will wring their hands to the distant sky

as others feel doomed and only want to die.

 

A war here, famine there, another strike

none of which I want to hear about or like.

Rise above this depressing news

and enter into a complacement and pleasant muse.

 

We cannot change, effect or alter events

nor even step in to help or prevent.

Keep it in your heart and pray

someone greater is in charge they say.

 

We are truly impotent not to mention unimportant

in the vast scenario which life does present.

Remain calm, put on the kettle

and with a good book try to settle.
