For some mystic reasons, 

cynicism feels like  a breath of fresh air. 

People are so willing 

to welome in a bad news 

and give it a sit next to them 

or pull out their smartphones 

to record the next tragedy 

unfold than they are to smile 

at the good things in life.

Shrewd is our human nature 

as we are now in tune with 

all the wrong in the world and 

out of touch with the good. 

We listen more and sit up 

straighter when bad news is being

told so that once the narrator is

done we can follow it up 

with an’ I knew it’ or ‘I told you so’. 

Little wonder why we are 

never happy, carrying so 

many baggaes from news we shouldn’t 

even pay attention to, we become weary

as we await the misery we are so convienced 

will soon visit our household.
