A Poem is in progress...

Jon Benet Ramsey's ghost appeared
last night unannounced outside my door
selling tickets to a three ring circus
that someone has named after her

CNN will perform the acrobatics as
they dazzle us with the mysteries
of a case that is really nothing new
and everyone applauds to their tv

Fox is always the clown of the show
wears the most makeup of anyone alive
but not enough to make us all forget
that what they present isn't news at all

MSNBC is last as the final act that comes
before a most sleepy curtain call slowly
they parade a steady stream of animals
that wear costumes of human skin

Jon Benet has left us so long ago
some still hear the voice of that girl
some think she calls for mourning
others know she doesn't think about it at all.

The ones buying the tickets are too willing to be entertained... unfortunately...

Hey Aaron, you have a place to stay in Dublin if you can get here during your travels. Send me an email at mhkingsley[at]gemission.com and let me know. Hope you're doing well.
