Information Overkill

Posted by Dominik Alexander on

These days
I feel the need
Every day
More and more
To keep track with the news
Because
When I miss something
The one important fact
The     d e c l a r a t i o n     o f     w a r
It will be too late
For me
So I keep track with the news
And go insane instead —

What’s worse —
        Dying because of missing the important news?
        Dying because of madness over the news?
        — Decide for yourself.

      Yes, I definitely need to turn to that habit, too.
