Again the news hits
Fire consumes beauty, memories, homes, the earth splits
Water falls, rises, decays, the winds shift
Keepsakes blown away and hope drifts
Keeping watch for the forecast of clould lifts.

Again the news flashes
Littles dropped by a pop in their classes
Runners downed in the sound of steel clashes
Faithful trashed from the blast now just ashes
Keeping watch for restoring the masses.

Again the news drops
Tests reveal fate is sealed can’t be stopped
Spread is wide like a locust on crops
Mass more massive than any drug that could top
Grief-torn here we all mourn keeping watch.

Then recall the old news that’s not breaking
That’s been thousands of years in the making
That’s good news to all who are aching
To the fallen who feel God-forsaken
To a dark world a son must awaken
Come great light all your children are waiting.
