So Repetitive

So repetitive
What is life with no change, no excitement 
Noting to get your blood pumping
Everything feels grey and old; maybe even dead
Where is the new in life? 
Even the “news” in the newspaper is the same.
People killing people, sex scandals, robberies, and rape
So repetitive is life
All the “bad” people that never goes unnoticed
Look at our media they make this world look monstrous
What about the good in the world
Lady, age 73, great health
Donate a kidney to save the life of a 5 year old child
She may want no recognition, nothing in return, but shouldn’t we add to the good in the world
What little there is, or what little is shown
But she only gets to feel good for herself, by herself
Though life is repetitive, life is life, and to have life is a lot	
Look at the “news”papers its all the same, people killing people, abuse, drunk drivers
Focus too much on the bad, blame ourselves or the media
Which is easier?
Damn repetitive life, give us some new, some good to cast away the image that some of those people have on life or even death
What is living with no change, no excitement?
That’s not living..
