Sense Sonnet - Steamer

Non Profit

The Golden Rule is oft rephrased -
Who has the gold does make the rules.
In media this is appraised -
If it sells go for ridicules.
But with it goes a rule of thumb -
To slur a young, black student girl
By a rich, old, white man is dumb
Big time on air waves set awhirl.
In responsive public outcry.
But, the real test of gotta go,
Comes when money backing goes dry.
The bottom line - there's no ho ho.

The pressure's on those with the gold,
So mouth's career is now on hold.
