Where is "GOOD?"

What ever happened to the “good?”
Why isn’t anyone covering the “good?”
Why isn’t there a place for the “good?”
Why isn’t anyone tuning to “good?”

We listen to news at six
The late edition at seven
Or the in-between at nine
Or just before we go to bed at eleven
It’s always about some misery, a death, a fight,
Fraud, heartaches, bombs, terrorists or street violence
Child molesters, rapists, and killers
What about the good that happens every day
The people who live an honest living
People who do good
People who give others a hand
People who bless others
People who take care of others
People who give their lives to help others
Brave mothers, fathers, sons and daughters
Noble priests, kinds monks, faithful teachers
Creative artists and singers
What about our those brave people?
People who save the penguins or dolphins?
People who stop by in the middle of the night to help a stranger?
What about God? What about Angels?

Where is joy, where is laughter?
Where is good humour?
Where is passion, where is hard work?
Where is sincerity, where is honesty?

Why isn’t anyone covering the “good”?
Why isn’t anyone paying attention to the “good”?
Why isn’t anyone listening to the “good”?
Where is “good”?

Is it any wonder we are living in darkness?
Fear and horror
Our hearts filled with hatred, revenge and prejudice?

Can anyone tell me what ever happened to “good?”
I miss the “good”. Don’t you?
