Quite a Worried World

We gawk at worlds in disgust

At lives lived and left in rust

In anger uproar ringing

No more angel harps singing


Swift fell swoop in motions

At triggered feeling filling notions

Lost man, woman, child

A bitter sweet scent so mild


Worried story teller

Withered story weaver

Stiff silent, sorry singer

Why bring upon anger and fever


To worlds, like a towering dunce

Who had not left his shoe, not once

Sorry singing up on high horses

Knowing not of other world's forces


Not knowing the push and shove

Pecking at stories like a hungry dove

Dirt ridden diseased rat

Sitting on lard and fat


Pish posh, drinks a cup

Teary eyed little pup

Speaks of truths of facts and lies

Flips a burger and salts the fries
