anything with a mother & a dead child

anything with a mother & a dead child

A Poem by delapruch
"

see note for reviewers.

"

now that the casey anthony extravaganza is

over,

the vultures begin to fly round the carcass

wanting in on whatever bit of

rotting meat

is leftover---

anthony is said to make at least $750,000 from

a book deal, while the television & movie industry is

foaming at the

mouth,

eagerly awaiting her release

(actually it doesn’t even matter if she gets released, as she

is free to sign on to any financial endeavor while still behind

bars)---

no one could have put it better than linda konner, a literary

agent in nyc, when she said

“anything with a mother and a dead child tends to attract lots of

attention.”

 

regardless of how you personally feel about the verdict

(if you care at all),

consider yourself lucky to not be a florida state tax payer,

as due to the fact that anthony was facing the death penalty,

the stakes went up when it came to defending her---

it is estimated that the court trial & all relevant costs, etc.

will sum up to be $4.5 million dollars.

 

casey anthony’s offer by vivid entertainment,

to make a pornographic film was retracted

by co-chairman, steve hirsch because after seeing the

public’s reaction,

he figured his company could not make money off her

afterall.

 

now,

consider for a moment those that were weeping, saying that they

lost their faith in the justice system---

better yet,

consider what was happening in the rest of the world over the

weekend besides the anthony case,

like

6,000 inmates in 11 california prisons being on hunger strike

this past weekend because of

“torturous & inhumane conditions”---

or perhaps

the

14

MORE

AFGHAN

CIVILIANS

killed yesterday in a US/NATO airstrike in khost province

(with 8 of the 14 being children) &

then

think about those that felt that they had lost their faith in

the US

justice system---

that same system that is supposed to be soooooooo great

that we are compelled to bring it to other countries

with airstrikes, troops & drones.

 

alas,

if a young white girl & her dead baby would work as a

formula to draw attention to all of the reasons to lose faith in

the US

justice

system,

we could simply give her photo-ops at all of the afghan operations &

for the prison hunger strike,

have her parade through cali’s prison population

for

starters.

“I have no regrets, just a bit worried. I just want for everything to work out OK. I completely trust my own judgment and know that I made the right decision. I just hope that the end justifies the means. I just want to know what the future will hold for me. I guess I will soon see – This is the happiest that I have been in a very long time. I hope that my happiness will continue to grow– I've made new friends that I really like. I've surrounded myself with good people – I am finally happy. Let's just hope that it doesn't change.”

–Casey Anthony’s “June 21st” diary entry

If it makes you feel any better at all, I've heard commentaries saying that Casey's chances of making money out of this have actually been overblown. In a few months, not many people will care anymore and publishers don't have stacks of money to throw at has-beens.

At least I hope this is the case, considering that chilling diary entry above.
