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.
