The Six O'Clock News
If you tip the scales to the side of “happy” each day
Then your life will be a rip roaring success
With all the constant challenges that are put before us
It's certainly not an easy task
But with strong ethics and a thorough grounding
The task is certainly a whole bunch easier
Without question, we are in the majority
And can call on others for support when needed
But the need for this will become a lot less frequent
If we remember we're put on earth for only a very short while
And it is up to each one of us to choose the right path
In time, right will always overcome wrong
Except for the lunatic fringe
Eventually man will always choose good over evil
So take heart my good friends, it will never be utopia... BUT
This world is still a most beautiful loving place
We just need to look past the 6 o'clock news!
