Today I made a big mistake
and watched the evening news.
I was left thinking, what's the point,
the world is rather screwed.

It really got me thinking
how this affects our younger ones
trying to find their way in this world
only to find it's being destroyed.

I agree that it's important
for the future of our planet
for them to be made aware
of changes to be implemented.

But we must also show them beauty
need to remind them daily
of the goodness in this world
that it's not all gone to hell.

If we feel down and hopeless
from the news that we are fed
imagine what it must feel like
to those who'll still be here
long after we are all dead.
