Le Goff is evil

The journalists are doing badly,
The journalists are doing well,
The world is going badly,
Our heads are sponges
That they press without remorse,
The children are doing badly,
People are cynical,
People are doing badly,
What will the future be?
The cops are doing badly,
The bakers are bad,
Julie Gayet is doing badly,
My blood sugar is rising,
It’s raining in Paris,
As every day,
The Parisians are doing badly,
The journalists are doing badly,
The journalists are doing well,
The Bretons are doing badly,
The dead are so bad,
Le Goff is going badly
The nights are too long,
who to trust?
Coco Gauff is doing badly,
The poets are doing badly
The French are doing so badly,
As much as the Chileans,
The world is going badly,
The cinema is going badly,
The young people are doing badly,
Only my books reassure me,
I look at them with love,
They are my real friends.

My opinion of this world is best forgotten. Even Malta is corrupt.

Even though things aren't looking well in the world, books are always there to help. You have my full support, Yann! Your poem was superbly crafted.

A poem for a pessimist. But you are right. Many things are bad today! Give me a nice work of fiction to escape into.

Though the world is not doing so good, books are one friend you can rely on. I agree. I enjoyed this nicely written poem, Yann. :)

Yes, there is so much evil in this world, but praise God, He has overcome the world. I am glad that you, Yann, have found friends in the books you read. Thanks for sharing this one with us. Sara K

Sandwiched in between “the dead are so bad.” So many clever lines. In the end you rely on your books.
