No one had mentioned a word about him in months.
And if they did, it was to gawp at his absurdities.
So how come now that he’s dead,
Suddenly, we were all his best friends?
Lamenting what a wonderful human being he was,
Crowding the streets,
Dancing the macabre,
Enamored with tragedy.
Meanwhile, the economy is flailing,
There’s starving children in impoverished homes,
Integrity is archaic.
Our savior is a pop singer.
Here’s an idea:
How about we stop obsessing over the dead,
And focus on the living.

we were just talking last night about how swine flu has been labeled a pandemic now and has had over a million cases in the US, and you don’t here anything about it. Not that swine flu wasn’t also a distraction from the other serious issues but just a different sort.
Funny how…just some “things’ are so pinnacle.
“say,say,say”
I like this one… very true… try posting it on the other site and watch the flame war, lol.
