A Poem by Daisy Savage
"

A poem I am considering entering for a competition on the topic of 'news'.

"
Words of black and white sharing the horrors,
Carrying the news forgotten tomorrow.
Shocking scenes of death and murder,
Rag-dressed child wishes we'd heard her.
Watching the pain of a war-torn country,
Turn a blind eye when it starts to get ugly.
Mandela is dead, the people's king,
Clips on the telly show the mourners sing.
Birth of a Prince, death of a child, 
Pop-star arrested; the world's gone wild.
Hearing the news in a state of depression,
Worldwide and UK in constant repression.
The question arises on the readers' lips:
'When will there be some happiness?'

WOW! This is absolutely amazing, I love how powerful and topical this is! I'm torn between my favourite lines... I think it has to be "Watching the pain of a war-torn country, turn a blind eye when it starts to get ugly".

Such a well-written, thoughtful and mature poem, I hope you entered it! This surely has to win!!

This is great - reminds me Adam Curtis' short film 'Oh Dearism'. Definitely needs entering :)
