Things That Keep Me Up At Night

[Rex_Goodheart]

A poem by Rex: (reposted, dammit, because I'm proud of it :) )

Global warming
Glaciers deforming
Melting ice at Poles
Ozone layer holes
Coastal erosion
Population explosion
Amazon deforestation
Oxygen deprivation
Disappearing species
Spinach laced with feces
Disappearing bees
Avian-borne disease
Darfurian starvation
Israeli occupation
Sunni insurgents
Soviet reemergence
Iranian extremists
The Chinese out-supreme us
Baghdad roadside bomb
Another Vietnam
North Korean nukes
Second coming kooks
Hugo Chavez
A moron as our Prez
Obscene waits on planes
Monster hurricanes
American Idol tunes
New Orleans still in ruins
Foreign oil addiction
Cheney escapes conviction
Stock market crash
Medicare out of cash
Health cost escalation
Illegal immigration
Crumbling Americana
Dammit, where’s Osama?
