Small wonder

Many hope that there will come a day
Of justice for poor JonBenet;
But who measures the cost
In innocence lost
While such children are put on display?

The case against John Mark Karr
Looks like the strangest twist so far
A fake confession could teach us a lesson
In getting a newsman's attention.
(sorry; I couldn't help myself)

Your comment on poor JonBenet
Gave both thought & pause today
Little girls in makeup
Cause sickos to wake up
And do things that make us dismay.

LS - you have groupies!

I do not have such time
To sit and contemplate a rhyme so...

I think this will all prove to be just a very sick man and not the person responsible for JonBenet's murder.

As the mother of four girls, this crime has always made me have nightmares.

Pattie,

If groupies I have to endure,
Then I’ll do it and be so demure.
In fact it’s my aim
To attain so much fame
I’m secure in a groupie du jour!

Seriously, to all: I think that the bigger story here is how, even after 10 years, this case sparks such immediate and widespread interest; and what that might say about our society in general.

Foolish2BYoung, I just note that, despite the name of your blog, you are the only commenter here without a face. How come?
