Bullies

Bullies feed

Upon the weak

It's ever been

That way

And so it's best

To deal from strength

Before there's hell

To pay

 Flight 370 is missing. Somewhere in the Indian ocean, they say. Meanwhile, a man with empire aspirations starts gobbling up a sovereign nation (Ukraine). The plane...gets more play. The loss of life due to the wayward jet...is indeed unfortunate, heartbreaking, tragic. The potential loss of life due to blood-lust unleashed...is beyond words. 

Easily distracted are we. We like the manageable malady; the "have you heard?," facebook fodder. But dealing with a tyrant? That's hard. But, from experience, it will be harder...later. And, as we tend towards selfishness, we may leave this one (like our national debt) to our children. "Sorry kids. Do the best you can."

So distracted

By the plane

Ignore the tyrant

And Ukraine

Until our children

Feel the pain

'cause we're distracted

By the plane
