Privileged Rotton Eggs

 
It is interesting to me how the handsome and beautiful
are afforded all empathy and assumed innocence
regardless of circumstances.
 
They were gifted with looks, charm, privilege
and in some instances, wealth, and yet, when
caught committing an egregious crime, be it of passion or malaise
our learned response is to think:
      “There must have been a reason, mental health issue, they have their whole lives ahead of them, 

       surely something can be said to justify and mitigate their guilt”.

The attractive, those who confirm to the current standard of beauty,
are assumed noble and right, regardless of motive, intent, or bloody aftermath
and thusly shielded
all their lives with this “get out of jail free” card,
lacking accountability
They think themselves godly.
 
Let me tell you something,
The eggs were always rotten.
