Nagging Negativity

Another new day dawns
For us all to face
Will it be one to embrace
With vim and vigour
As we prepare to start this day
We put our negativity at bay
And begin to read the news

Trusting that today's news will be
Printed with more clarity
So that most can understand
The strategies they have planned
I put the paper down in dread
Of all the dreadful things I've read
Make nonsense to me

Today I awoke to face the day.
With positive thoughts on display
Sadly. There is no sign of change,
Negativity returns again.

Yup. Another day served up by those 'nattering nabobs of negativity.' ~ Spiro Agnew
