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.
