Somedays when I read the newspaper
Even though I no longer read it on paper
Calling it newspaper makes it like an old friend
–
I come across some news good some news bad
Some stories happy some stories sad
But you know that cliched word was coming
–
Some stories however make me mad
These are not about the corrupt politicians
or the latest excuse they made to go for War
–
After some time that theme starts to bore
Having been executed since time began
Nope these are the stories
–
Of people (mostly men, but sometimes women)
treating other people badly
Kids being raped and killed
–
Teachers fucking students
Women being tortured in Country X for doing Y
Gays being bullied for being gays
–
These are the days
I feel like going back on my monkish vows
And unleashing a cyber scepter
–
On predators who prey
on People and their allies
Who help them out

As a former full-time news writer, I know what you mean. There is something to it; almost like going home. Of course, I could not touch newspapers for a while after I left my last job because I’d seen them so much.
