Hello America, now for our top story
Earlier today their was war in the streets, famine
In the country side, shots filling the alleyways,
Mothers holding their dead children, bomb being
Set off in public places, women crying out while
Being rapped, tornados ripping apart houses,
People slaughtering each other of drugs, corrupt
Governments making money off death,
Rioting protesters killing innocent ones, unguilty
People being sentenced to death,
Cars swerving out of lanes colliding into head on traffic,
Television corrupting the minds of little ones,
People getting pleasure out of watching people die,
Movies depicting death to be a funny thing,
Depressed people jumping out of buildings,
Dictators torturing and maiming his followers,
Men dieing for a corrupt government,
Terrorist hijacking planes,
Earthquakes devouring cars and houses,
Locus stripping the crops bare,
The rich watching the poor suffer,
People dieing of incurables diseases,
Kids running into schools with guns,
Shooting their peers and friends,
People killing each other just for bits of paper we call currency,
Everyone is always at war,
Whether it be for power, money or respect
That concludes the news top updates
Now back to your regularly scheduled program

im quite fed up with the news. all of this is a part of life, and frankly most if it is unimportant and repeated redundantly. im sick of hearing about the wars, the deaths, the problems of the world. ive heard them all, and i dont need to hear them anymore.
