When the news gets me down and the whirled peers bewildered, I try to simplify, get back to basics, go with what I know to be most true. For won, wee the people need to fight back against the rich and powerful. Kindness is awe ways better than cruelty. Our love for one another is the decisive force on earth.<\/p>\n

May this poem help you focus on what is most true, and hone your response to bad news.<\/p>\n

Dealing with Knews and News<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

There\u2019s knews
\nAnd then there\u2019s news
\nWhat has
\nAll ready
\nEarned
\nAnd what has not
\nYet learned
\nDealing with the cards dealt
\nAnd how unfold
\nWeather a proving
\nOr knot
\nHow to set a bout
\nA fit start
\nWith ante up
\nOr helled down
\nDecked buy the chaos
\nAs if
\nThere is know ruse
\nAs ponder us
\nThe riot weigh
\nOr free for awe
\nWhatever the subjects
\nThrone by the muddle
\nAnswers due come
\nRejoin together
\nAs one
\nThing is decisive
\nWee will prevail
\nAs stand side bye side
\nFirm in good knews
\nIn spite of the news<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
