I Don'T Want
I don’t want to see
Unpleasant sights like
Unfortunate folk in
Hospital beds clinging
On to hope when the
Outcome is inevitable
And I don’t want to
Witness poorer folk
Pleading for a penny on
The street when most
Other folk just pass them
By; including me.
I don’t want to hear the
Cries of streetwise kids
As they languish on my
TV set in some shanty town
Far away whose tale I can’t
Recount or the blabber of
Politicians on the other
Channel defecating with
Each another.
I don’t want to entertain
Another smart ass explanation
As to why this or that is the way
It is and consider yet more
Defunct pitch’s on how to
Put it right.
I don’t want to feel my fury
Anymore; I just wanna
Cry!
