Tuning Out

I tune out the news Just as much as I can, So I won’t have to hear When the s*^# hits the fan. But I still read the paper And catch little bits From the radio as every Story transmits. The migrants, the pardons, The Congress, the Court – Democracy fighting But coming up short. The voters who quoted The prices of eggs, Now twice as expensive, The question now begs… Just when will you realize You’ve made a mistake? The heart and the soul Of our nation’s at stake. It’s hard to accept Just how low we have sunk And I wonder why everyone’s Not in a funk.
