Boeing Goeing Gone

by Nora Jay

“Families of victims appalled as Boeing seems likely to avoid prosecution over 737 Max crashes
Trump’s justice department is considering a non-prosecution agreement, through which Boeing
would not need to plead guilty”
The Guardian

It seems that Boeing’s CEOs
Are off the hook. You can’t suppose
That such distinguished coffer-fillers
Would share the fate of common killers?

The victims’ families may moan,
Or they may not. They’re on their own.
We’ve graver questions to be sorted,
Like which sick babies get deported.
