A man gives away
bridges. Another
has written a song
without words.
You can hum along.
From now on
We will bring only
good news—
kittens and bunnies,
no troubles, no
bad weather reports.
All our news will be
nice. Nothing
to make you cry,
keep you up at night.
Nice news will take
your mind
off the dark,
off your chains.
