Leave Us Alone

Leave us Alone A risky apathy is darkening our time emails damning the Clintons never stop arriving and are left unread The scandal that could have sunk a battleship barely makes it headline news Some newspapers are tired of WikiLeaks bring nothing but unpleasant news; tell us a joke instead. The Settler on the west bank and Israeli soldiers are losing their humanity their cruel banality no longer stirs the mind, we are tired of bad news, therefore a joke must not have anti-Moslem overtones not make fun of religion and not be seen as anti-Semitic We are tired of falling bombs and the dust they create clouds of coarse dust drifts over a depressing landscape. Show us sweet pictures of a kitten and cute dogs. We don`t want to look into the darkness of the coming the sufferers will have to suffer alone until mushroom swirls make the humanity extinct.
