Funny, why am I not laughing?

So much news,
So much bad news,
If you watch you choose.

You choose to listen, to know,
One side is what most show,
You could just say no!

Just say no, to death, floods and riots,
Each newscaster mimics and parrots,
Each other, to gain the success and fame.

Success and fame, broadcasting some guilt, some shame?
I watch the news, from time to time, concentrated life or a game?
"Gives me things to pray about" I was once told.

I was once told too, it is a waste of time and space; the TV,
Now they are flatter in HD and 3D, and can take up a wall.
So go ahead and watch the news, don't let your life stall.

Don't let your life stall, don't get mad at the news story,
Write a letter to the editor and be part of history.
Be creative, live your life, you can't lose.

You can't lose, by enjoying what you do and doing what you love,
Don't ever forget Who is right beside and right above.
If life has told a joke, funny, why am I not laughing.

Seriously, I am not laughing at anything but myself,
In an overflowing stream of life and not on an empty bookshelf,
For when I can not begin; by laughing at me, I take life too seriously.
