Worries

What’s going up and what’s coming down? How does the dollar compare to the pound? These were my worries many years past. I’m finally idle as the years go by fast Now my worries have flown to the rear Violence and terror giving me fear Bombs bursting and people in the air Causes and purposes never being clear Is it terror, or just a random crime? So many young men still doing time So many women still being abused So many outsiders still being refused. I think I should shut off the TV news Turn on the radio and listen to the blues.
