Bad News Travels Fast
Bad news likes to travel fast,
Much quicker than the good
And you can’t stop it even if
You pause to knock on wood.
It’s like a snowball, growing as
It barrels down a hill,
Unstoppable and uncontrolled
As oil from a spill.
Through phone or text or face to face
The knowledge makes its rounds,
For once the news is negative
It spreads by leaps and bounds.
Technology can’t take the rap
For even in the past,
When something bad took place, that news
Would always travel fast.
