#694 breaking news

i will not wallow in the world's woes
as cnn wants me to
i will not spend an hour after supper
learning the worst the globe offered today
i will not let my emotions spiral down
led by the suit-and-tie man and his this-world-is-somber voice

but you must care ask the eyes

i do
i care
i care enough not to watch
i have enough bad in my day
i will not invite negativity into my living room
instead i spend the hour making good news happen
news you never hear
too petty
too feel-good
too minor
but if all the newswatchers united to take
one hour (our hour) to spread good, how many hours would that make
