     And the second is like unto it:
     
     Cleveland fans blown off,
     Elsewhere people blown to bits.
     The news?  Cavalier.

  Sorry, can't get heated over a sports figure that makes more money than the gross national product of a third world country. I just know you were being sarcastic, right? Don't get me started...

     And the 3rd is like unto it in sarcasm:
     
     LBJ exposed,
     now we can get back to what
     matters most: Tiger.

  I thought this was going to be about Lyndon B. Johnson. Man, I'm really out of the Cleveland poetry scene.

        considering that this war is shaping up more and more like Vietnam I suppose it is appropriate.

  i donno dude - equating the death and misery we rain down on iraqi and afghani women and children with american bombs, drones, and napalm to lebron's logical choice to leave cleveland seems a wee bit much.

     I'm not sure how successful my sarcastic poem is - but it was inspired by my frustration at the fact that while so much horror (like you've described) is going on all over the world, the media and so many people are or were caught up instead in the LeBron drama, as though IT was all important.  One reason I chose the Spanish word for supreme in the title is that I wanted it to be read as El B.J. Supremo - the supreme blow job - we loved LBJ (el b.j.) and were happy to have him/it induce the mind-numbing ecstasy of a potential Cleveland championship and divert our minds from the really important issues.  But then the blow job ended before we got to come and lots of people were more pissed at that than at the fact that folk are being blown to bits in foreign countries.
     
     I didn't mean to condemn or defend LeBron - or to suggest that anything to do with him was so important.  The poem was all sarcasm.

        sarcasm is sooooo hard to pull off in text - and ain't always easy face to face with voice.
        
        i agree totally with you on the news fixating on the shallow while ignoring the serious .... that's why i keep posting my Big Breasts and Buttocks headlines, trying via sarcasm to say "why this shallow shit and not that serious fact."
        
        my apologies for misreading. won't be the first or last time i miss it.
        
        i agree with your sentiment.
