These Sad News Define Our Times

The blasting boom-box,on the dry sand, plays my favorite tunes as I read the local newpaper to scan for some good news; wars,sex scandals,murders,robberies and terrorism make the head-lines... Where are the good-spirited people who make life thrilling and whole? Are there anymore true heroes who put others first instead of themselves? Are there more good Samaritans who live and die for others? These sad news define our times and however bad they may sound, don't let them cause you doom by staring into a mirrow of gloom; try harder to bring more changes, inspire unmotivated hearts with new words and reprimand the villains and guiltless by exposing their senseless actions! These sad news define our times as they unfold page after page, praise those worthy of merit and immortalize their remarkable deeds: as a reminder of a time when kindness was never overtaken by avarice and meanness; emphasize the struggles of their time that turned those impossible tasks into fact, to make sacrifice and victory forever bind...
