Sense Sonnet - Acher

Known Death of an Unknown Child

The son of a pro football star
Is killed by the mother's boyfriend,
Just two years old, and what's bizarre -
Father first met son at son's end.
The sports star had just found out he
Was father of the murdered son.
Because the father a star be,
The world learned of the murder done.
Sons and daughters murdered each day.
Most don't get publicity much.
Some famous linkage is the way
Newsworthiness is deemed for such.

News because of the father's fame.
Any child murdered is a shame.
