We scan the news to see
If the criminals are being punished,
And when they were caught, and how.
You don’t need to read the news.
The guilty are suffering for what they did. Right now.
We scan the news, but what we really want to see
Are the innocent—and how completely unlucky.
And the truly wronged? That’s me. Do you want me to explain?
It’s enough to say I’m happy.
The weatherman appears to be happy, as he says something about rain.
