News Fare
Our news fare, served up every day,
Is like the strictest diet
Of Covid stats, but now we have to
Add the latest riot.
You’d think that a pandemic
Would unite us but we seem,
In this country, more divided
Than in King’s most famous dream.
Maybe people needed something
To distract them from disease
Yet a protest doesn’t have to
Ratchet up to such degrees.
If perhaps we had a leader
Who displayed both strength and heart
We could battle through these crises
Without being torn apart.
