Let Up

My dog died this year; I was fired from my job
Despite being praised for my work like God
And as I see Tyrone replaced by Bob
The Jakes keep murdering George and the Toms just nod

Bad news won’t let up; moral arc won’t bend
Winning is a luxury—I can’t remember when
And I’ve let down myself, family, friend after friend
Thank God there’s tomorrow to let you all down again
