who should we sacrifice
to uphold our hallowed principles du jour?
will eight victims be enough
to satisfy the blood lust of today’s trendsetters
so quick to jump on the bandwagon
playing to the cause célèbre of the moment for clout?

We love comments, with three caveats.
Be cool, Fool.
Don't be rude, Dude.
Don't be a prick, Slick.
That's all, Saul.
I try to get comments published as quickly as possible. I don't always reply to comments on my blog, but I do try to visit as many people as possible when I participate in blog hops and I share links where possible to Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, and such so others can discover your work. I do read and appreciate your comments.
