THE AGE OF WORRY
Hurry, hurry, hurry,
Come get your share of worry;
Politically inspired...media fired,
To smother you like slurry!
Your every day must burn
With this or that concern,
To go to bed, near off your head
And there to toss and turn.
We're targeted by hysteria
That makes us feel inferior -
Hardened by a predictable return
To the need to feel superior.
But we're in the age of guilt
On which our lives are built,
So share we must the death and dust
And all the blood that's spilt!

Hugh/Keith - most appreciative of your comments. It may
be me but there are times when I feel there is some
orchestrated campaign to keep us in a constant state of
agitation and feel somehow responsible for everything
that is going on in the world today...perhaps a part of
the "globalisation" that is such a popular feature of news
items these days.
Cheers
