Bad News, Morose News

It's like being hit by a meteor Where there's no tomorrow It is like doomsday, really Where everything is ugly And absolutely nothing is pretty I just received the bad news That my sister-in-law had died Suddenly and extemporaneously Without being sick tremendously I just received the sad news That my brother-in-law had died Accidentally and haphazardly After being hit forcefully in the head He must have suffered enormously Before passing away and being dead I'm afraid of bad and sad news That we get all the time Too many deaths at primetime Too much pain to endure Presently and in the future Too many unnecessarily stressful moments Too many depressive and hopelessness events Life is lunatic, bizarre and unpredictable And many problems are quasi insoluble Bad news like death comes like a shock It's like being hit by a humongous rock.
