Bad

A bad reputation
will precede one that's good;

more and more seem to hail
from a bad neighborhood.

To overturn bad credit
is extremely hard,

the bad shift to have
at work, is graveyard.

Everybody deals
with what comes their way,

if things don't work out well
then, one's had a bad day.

Good news is scarce,
bad news travels fast;

the bad players in gym
get picked towards the last.

Bad ideas become
at best, just a "fad";

can anyone really say
that the good outweighs the bad ?

Like attract like, if you think of only the bad things then they will cover you into oblivion. A good write then the reason to be was lost as you sank into just a bad zone never to return, Smile you ole devil, make a funny face at a child, hug a tree, live on the thoughts of good and La La La. Take care of you there, Yours Ian.T
