Tragic & Upsetting Is the Norm.

Tragic & Upsetting Is the Norm.

A Poem by Onlyme

It seems to be a common trait
on seeing disturbing and upsetting
videos and stories,
in our local or national newspapers
and also online.

When in general there are enough
upsetting things, going on in this
world. Without the press adding
to the trauma of everyday life.

It so tragic and sad.
That it seems, so rare to see
Nice happy, joyful stories
about good things,
instead of bad
online or off.

That's why we have poetry..a wonderful escape
from the harshness and tragedies reported on
a daily basis on tv ..and other medias ..however; would
be nice to hear some happy lighthearted news..

yes everything is sensationalised, made to look worse than it is and then we are all become sensitised by it all and even left numb.
