Bad news from around the world becomes a burden, like an albatross around our necks.
The Albatross is a reference to Coleridge’s “Rime of the Ancient Mariner.”
What price to pay to know the world tonight.
Bad news in instant flicks assail our eyes.
We wear the guilt we do not feel or fight.
Sick albatross, sad tonnage of our lies.
