MISSING PLANE

The news is totally obsessed,

In fact, they're quite insane,

Because of the cool mystery,

Of the Malaysian missing plane!

Forget about Benghazi,
The economy down the drain,
Focus your attention,
On the mysterious missing plane!

Dead soldiers in Afghanistan,
Each brave one had a name,
The "talking heads" don't even care,
It's ALL about the plane.

Child abuse is on the rise,
And school shootings are a shame,
However, how could they compare,
To the Malaysian missing plane!

I don't want to sound hard hearted,
But it messes with my brain,
When we pay such rapt attention,
To a distant missing plane.

When our neighbor suffers cancer,
On our street there's drugs and pain,
We are giving our attention,
To a foreign missing plane.

But it's not a plane we care about,
It's the innocents aboard,
And loved ones praying desperately,
Please save these ones adored.

It's true we have big problems,
But it fills my heart with cheer,
When our love extends to others,
Even though they're not from here.
