...in the News (2)



There's a new day dawning.
It's the "king's" second coming!
Everybody in the world that
Gives a hoot...good or bad
Will take notice. A prediction?
All Big 4s of media will cover it,
Because it'll be big, so big--it's bad.
Those who have prejudged and
Or crucified him will be counting crows,
And then...eating them while
Wearing masks of varied sorts and colors.
Yes, there's a new day dawning,
And it'll be a wonderful surprise--
Unwelcomed by those who did raise
A voice or lift a hand in condemning
Him to die in "god-awful shame."
His resurrection as "king" is this
New day...and this will be "bad" as
Bad can be...in the news.
