Amy Winehouse Who? Poem by Joe Rosochacki

there are vast unemployment lines,
there are millions of people in peril,
facing starvation in Northeast Africa
and some of them had been killed by Somalian government soldiers
Amy Winehouse Who?

31 American Soldiers died yesterday fighting the Taliban
in Afghanistan
there are markets 'tanking'
around the world
The USA has downgraded in its credit rating
Amy Winehouse Who?

Hundreds die in the streets of Syria
JonBennet 's murder yet unsolved
she would have 21 today
The drought has taken its toll
On wild animals and elderly and not elderly people
Some have their lost their lives they had A/C units stolen
some have their lives stolen by high school football practice
