The News Poem by Audrey Heller

Everytime I listen to the news, it has
it's affect on me. It doesn't matter if
it's in the paper, or while I'm watching
the TV. Just once I'd like to hear some
good news. Something different, then
what we hear everyday. It's getting to
be too much, I wish it would go away.
I can't help but think, how much better
we'd be, if we didn't hear, or know as
much as we do. It puts a great deal of
pressure on us, which isn't really, that
good for you. However, on the other
hand, we can't close our eyes and be
oblivious to what is going on. No matter
what we would like to see happen, the
news, will never be gone!
