News Today

Did you see the news today
About a girl aged seven
Starved to death apparently
Gone, do you think, to Heaven

Or Hell or whatever’s out there
There can’t be anything worse
Than what she wasn’t seen to go through
In all the Universe

She died a slow and lonely death
We gather from the press
A sad and deprived family
Grim, none the less

Her sisters are all in hospital
On life-support machines
Let’s wish them well together
Whatever in Christ’s name that means
