The balance of things, you say? The balance of things? Who sees the balance of things? Let the world check in With the good not just bad Let the world check in With happy not just sad Winter blues for lack of sun Escape in the good Really we should Balance the scales In the voices across the lands Let words be heard In headlines, let’s take a stand! Let the waves of sound Of pictures we see Be a measure of the bad With a measure of good Balance the messages Really they should Debra Squyres 1/07/13

Totally with you on this Debra, we tend to only hear the bad stuff and it doesnt help to up our moods ;)

Yeah, they say they report both and they do. But boy, I guess we're all guilty of sensationalizing the bad. Why don't you win the lottery and tell us all about it. :)'s

What a wonderful point. Why should only bad news be newsworthy. Why should the sensational be any more worthy of press than a small celebration. But that's the world we live in. Love your new avatar. Enjoyed your poem.
