I Killed For The Publicity

I killed a man just to get in the newspapers and on the Six O'Clock news.
I wanted to get noticed even though my freedom was something I'd lose.
I did it just for the publicity.
I wanted people to notice me.
Because of what I did, millions of people are outraged.
It sure did feel good to see my face on the front page.
Now I'm being tried and I'm facing jail.
That idiotic judge actually let me out on bail.
Killing that man was wrong but I'm not one bit sorry for what I've done.
But I am sorry because the victim's dad is about to kill me with his gun.

(This is a fictional poem)

Great topic with a chilling 1st personĀ narrative style providing extra power... I know this is probably not feasible in our media saturated age, but I've always wished the major media outlets could agree not to give these social outcasts the media attention they crave
