Look the lead pages; look all dailies—
A storehouse of sordid stink and sleaze,
Competing each to each,
Racing, rare heights to reach,
World seems caught with a viral disease!

Largely the bad make the news today. From dog biting dog, to dog biting man, to man biting dog be the news we read these days. People do need excitement, but they need inspiration more. And good things happen too.

World as if caught with viral disease! ....so touching and true. Maximum news are negative nowadays. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Kumarmani, you're right, and it has worsened. I was with Times of India in Sixties and when I compare then and now it is clearly so.

I would like to translate this poem
Yes, I fully agree with you.As a child I was eagerly waiting for the morning newspaper and competing with my siblings to read it first.I also encourage my children to read newspaper every day.Now I think, whether reading newspaper in the morning does any good to us, body and mind ! Rather it fills us with much negative feelings, Bad news make news and goodnews sidelined into a corner.Thank you Sir for sharing this lovely poem.
Thanks, yr views are always welcome
