TESTING POSITIVE


by David Knape

We are overcome by negativity
nothing but bad news all around us
which leaves us feeling helpless
unable to control our own lives
bad news so foreign
and contrary to what we believe
we wonder if we are declining
and wonder if we will ever be safe again
still there are those few souls
who remain optimistic
who go about their lives with goodness in mind
who are never distraught or defeated
so while the world tests negative
those who spread kindness remain unaffected
and are asymptomatic to negativity
they are the antithesis of a virus
in that they infect goodness not harm
we should demand more
of that kind of protective positivity
let it spread worldwide
and pray there will be no vaccine
to stop it.
