[2021] As the list of cold cases to shelve continues growing
It's the hottest topic of 2021
next to Climate Change
a Capitol Building overthrowing
Covid vaccination mandates
and freeing Britney Spears.
As far as current events ongoing
it has all the breaking news bulletin
points adding up into a media
feeding frenzy phenomenon
we haven't seen in years.
She was
▪ young --- twenty-two years old, going on twelve
▪ cute --- as a button
▪ White
And there's no dispute
that her disappearance
and death is a tragedy . . .
but where was all of this human interest
when it came to missing Indigenous
and persons of Color?
Right.

I think we passed sad about 5 miles back when Britney Spears became a daily fixture in the news . Thanks for the read, Eerie.

In all honesty, it is sad what has happened to her. But Breonna Taylor has never received justice for her murder, so I guess in the grand scheme of things, fuck a Brittany 🤷🏻♀️ And I say that with the most love possible, as my hope for humanity is at an all time low.

Reminds me of a joke in the original Scary Movie, where Anna Faris types "white woman in trouble" into her '90s computer dialler, and immediately a legion of police officers appear. You're a good satirical poet. You'd be a fine addition to a newspaper's regular columns.

Thank you, Jack. I watch ABC news on a somewhat regular basis because of their unbiased.reporting when it comes to politics, but Jesus they lose all sense of proportion when it comes to crime.

Damn straight. While my heart aches for the Petito family ( I have a daughter ) nearly 700 ( yes, 700 ) indigenous women have gone missing where Gabby Petito was found. Where is the national coverage on that?

At the moment, It's taken a backseat to interviews with the suspect's family.
Tomorrow, it will take a backseat to something else.

Dayum JB, you hit it right on the nose. The tragedy that the family has to deal with is heartbreaking but what about the hundreds of others? Social media seems to be worried more about status and looks.

Indeed. She's STILL making the daily national news, rivaling Meghan, Harry, William, & Kate. There's a sad commentary in itself.
