Bad News Sucks

I received news today that really really sucks

although not totally unexpected I know

circumstances beyond our control is what we say

isn't that what we always say when we don't know

the end has come and the end has gone

and I sit her now searching for the truth

I mean a much deeper truth about you about me

should I be in search of a confessional booth

where I had settled into a way of acceptance

a spark emerged that breathed in new life

dancing had once again become real super cool

but part of the chorus removed with a carving knife

now the damage has been limited in part

and disaster control has taken an interest

the team will regroup and come here often

even though that might not really be the best

my mind will wander from time to time

past old McDill for the upteenth reoccurance

the object may one day be spotted found again

but I may have to accept total disappearance

on to other projects I hope to fill me up

old baseball gloves and even some hockey pucks

but looks like another stretched and sprained ligament

dam all I can say is boy Bad News Sucks

Thats funny, no not funny, thats sad, because I too received bad news today and also had to deliver some too. I hate that. Having to deliver bad news in my opinion is almost worse than receiving.
But yes your words here lately are so full of truth in these last few poems.

Your poetry always down to earth and honest. I don't know. Every time I feel like I'm winning. I receive some negative new to slow me down. You are correct. Bad news suck. A excellent poem.
