Give Me Shelter

Listened to the news today and all of it was bad.

Don't know why I listen when it only makes me sad.

Killings in South Africa and Syria - Iraq.

In Afghanistan, another green on blue attack.

Helicopter crashes, fires, earthquakes, massive drought,

Hurricanes and global warming proven beyond doubt.

Israel may bomb Iran? On Cape Cod, Great White sharks.

Little brothers drowning at one of the nation's parks.

I can't find a sheltered harbor...  Nope, not even sports.

Red Sox team is melting down according to reports.

Poor old Bobby Valentine is taking loads of crap.

Can you just imagine this with Belichick? He'd snap.

I have got a sister who believes that Mayan thing...

She's concerned December 21st is gonna bring

Planets in alignment which precipitates The End...

After all this rotten news, I'm half convinced my friend.

Mother Nature is a Witch

Florida got too much rain.  Out West there's not enough.

Seen the pictures on TV? Apocalyptic stuff.

Residents of Florida might need to build an ark.

So much smoke in Colorado, daytime skies are dark.

We have had our share of floods...  My sisters got hit twice.

Watching as the waters slowly rise; it isn't nice.

But, I can't imagine how it feels to watch as flames

Devastate whole neighborhoods. There're no insurance claims

That could ever cover such a terrifying sight.

Country's heart is breaking for the people in this plight.

Puts the whole Supreme Court thing, and Congress in their place.

They're just small potatoes when disaster's face to face.

Student loans, the Health Care Act, the Highway Spending Bill...

Issues we can work out should our Congress find the will.

Mother Nature doesn't care which side you might be on.

When she says "You're out of here" my friends, then you are gone.
