The Shame of Yesterday’s News (let us not forget Lilia)

A Poem by Neville

The Shame of Yesterday’s News (let us not forget Lilia)

 


Although as yet


they have not released her name ..


I find myself again


ashamed of my own species ..


When turning to


the mid-day news, to note the BBC


consider it more


important to report upon the final


summing up and


findings of some high court judge


whose name


I can’t remember


regarding the infantile behaviour


of two contrived


pathetic WAG’s


and relegate the fatal stabbing of


a nine year old girl


from Lithuania into third place ..


Now on reflection


I wonder if born in the Ukraine


what an outrage


that would have caused, these days

I am right on your page Neville. I am constantly appalled by the level of journalism, particularly by the BBC who years ago were the bastion of decency. The WAG Court case was an absolute fiasco and shouldn't be of any interest to anyone with a thread of intelligence. Two women driven by ego and more money than common sense. A child died in a civilised country in a horrific way and it doesn't make the headlines. Shows how we have sunk in standards. Powerful piece.
