The Power of Media Attention
Location
Boston bombing,
Massacre.
How many dead?
10? Or more?
It's only three.
Shocked? I'm sure,
But everything else
Lacks allure.
Want a story,
See Darfur.
What happened there?
Mass murder,
Tens of thousands
Maybe more.
Did we help them?
Too obscure.
Who killed the towns
Of Darfur?
Well, you know, we're
Still not sure.
But the Boston
Massacre--
48 hours
Both secured.
