Dear diary, what a day it's been,
Dear diary, it's been just like a dream.
Woke up too late. Wasn't where I should've been.
For goodness sake what's happening to me.
Write lightly, yours truly, dear diary.
It was cold outside of my door.
So many people by the score,
Rushing around so senselessly
They don't notice there's people like me.
Write lightly, yours truly, dear diary.
They don't know what they're playing.
They've no way of knowing what the game is.
Still they carry on doing what they can
Outside me, impolitely, dear diary.
It's over, will tomorrow be the same?
I know that they're really not to blame.
If they weren't so blind then truly they'd see
There's a much better way for them to be
Inside me, yours truly, dear diary.
Dear diary,
Took a stroll today.
A bit of sun came out later
So I went out and strolled about, looking at the shops.
Didn't really see anything I liked,
So I didn't buy anything.
On the way home I posted a letter.
Been quite a nice day.
Somebody exploded an H-bomb today,
But it wasn't anybody I know.

@Tom_And_Jerry Exactly, back in the 60's, the H-bomb was big news with many people in the streets protesting it's development. It's sounds confusing when he writes "but it wasn't anyone he knew," referencing, I assume, that "somebody" exploded the bomb, but whoever it was, he didn't know them, not getting it that it was a country, not a person.
