Another Sad Sad Day
6:00AM Man struck with gunshot to the head.
He was rushed to the hospital,
Where he was pronounced dead.
Carjacker drug a young mother a mile,
Only by nerves had she hung on;
Strapped in the backseat was her infant child.
12:00PM Breaking News:
Seven year old girl walking home from school
Kidnapped, raped and dumped.
Body found floating in pool.
Millions starve from the war,
Half are children,
While the stock market continues to soar!
5:00PM Baseball season started today.
Infant abandoned;
Social worker says she's okay.
11:00PM Great day today to practice the golf game,
Man charged in brutal murder;
Pleaded insane.
Crime is up on the rise,
and for the 7 year old little girl,
No one came when they heard her cries.
