The news
surrounding Bill Cosby is more than just sad; it’s tragic to its very core
When heard
it must have caused his many fans to fall disbelieving to the floor
Woman after woman
is now breaking through the celebrity icon shield
Alleging that
when they said “no!” he would not yield
Worse, some
are alleging they were with drugs and alcohol seduced
Not wanting
to rush to judgment but what can one deduce
One is that
on the surface our heroes are never in short supply
But like the
iceberg beneath the surface many hidden secrets may lie
Second is
that too many men listen to their reptilian brain
Even as its words
send a career and reputation down the drain
Mere mortals
struggle with the mundane challenges they must daily face
Celebs like
Cosby are removed more important in a acting world what script to be put in
place
Too much disconnect
from the mere mortal world and a celeb is above it all
Freed of the
moral restraints which may explain why they too often stumble and fall
Cosby is
burdened by the celeb envy test
The more esteemed,
the harder the fall is to arrest
Already a
planned show has been put in the round file
Wonder if
what follows is a series of civil trials?
In a rapidly
becoming a zero tolerance world for even a hint of sexual abuse
So important
for men to keep the little brain zipped and with the greatest of care allowed
loose.
