Uprisings, Once in a While

     
   	      I turned off the news today
                 No fear of missing out

               It’s the same it’s been forever
                  No need to shout

              Unpopular wars, beleaguered leaders
                  The rich get richer, submerge bottom-feeders

              Oh, uprisings occur once in a while
                   Much ado over nothing
                      They scuttle out of style

               So, I’ll lean back in my chair
                    get some fresh air
                       wait for the Lord to call me back up there

yes, some days...the news is the 'same ol' stuff. Pretty much I just try to catch the headlines...can't dwell on the insanity for very long.

Hello Gershon, as Ecclesiastes says there is nothing new under the Sun. Great read this morning, and yes, we pray for the Lord’s return. Blessings, Daniel

Hello gershon, yes the news is the some old thing. What happened to Nancy that is still missing? I keep hoping she would be found. Enjoy your day my friend. /Darlene/
