AM I CALLOUS?

Am I callous - when I shrug when a celebratory dies?
When the death hits the head lines?
I think not
News of 50 - 60 - 100 - more - in bombings - shootings die in a city
In the middle East
Forty or so refugees - perish in the sea off the coast of
Turkey
SO MUCH death of those with no names - never to be
Names on T V
Yet one who's claim of fame - is on the telly - radio
Takes profaneness over death of the unknown - nameless
Many
Shed tears - fore those who have died - who names I don't know

Then yes I am callous

I think that it's okay to also be sad that the celebrity died.
