Everybody Tells Me Everything
Everybody Tells Me Everything - meaning Summary
Cynical View of the News
The speaker expresses weary cynicism about contemporary news, claiming it is impossible to be enthused. What seems already bleak only worsens, producing a sense of escalating despair. The final ironic claim—that many things are going right for the wrong people—frames the poem as a compact social wry observation about moral inversion and public affairs. It registers frustration with events and with the stale predictability of bad developments.
Read Complete AnalysesI find it very difficult to enthuse Over the current news. Just when you think that at least the outlook is so black that it can grow no blacker, it worsens, And that is why I do not like the news, because there has never been an era when so many things were going so right for so many of the wrong persons.
