Poem
Each town has it’s own Heart Beat: Thump, Thump- Thump, Thump. And All can go astray when doing wrong feels so right. A young man came in contact with the police… and has died. So the town decided to protest, drawing others from the outside. Everything got out of hand, and escalated, throughout the night. Businesses destroyed, homes robbed, fires, it wasn’t a pretty sight. The innocent bystanders have decided to move away, in droves. The businesses are losing customers, as to safety so many go. Eventually, businesses will also leave, for customers they must have. The area will become blighted, where a good home once could be had. Each town has it’s own Heart Beat: Thump, Thump- Thump, Thump. And All can go astray when doing wrong feels so right. Police and their families are being threatened, as they try to understand. But they see that they must guard at night, all which continues to stand. The Newsmen are stirring things up, as to the National News they go. Of course we need to know the plight of all, as they stir up more woes. Protesting the freedom, to protest at night, hasn’t helped stop the fights. More will be leaving the area, cause they don’t want to live too close. It’s the innocents who continue to suffer, if the town becomes a ghost. It could end in a moment, or be like the fighting, in the Middle East. Each town has it’s own Heart Beat: Thump, Thump- Thump, Thump. And All can go astray when doing wrong feels so right. It all depends on everyone’s understanding of when it’s time to stop. It depends on the understanding: of when something wrong feels right. Rioting, Looting, and Protesting can’t add anything good to the mix. But adding outsiders and hatred to it, can totally destroy all, in the end. There are brave hearts, wanting to stop what’s going on, to get along The outsiders control the scene, as with sadness, the good back down. It seems to have a life of it’s own, pushed from outsiders out to win. But the only thing they’ll win, is a ghost town, for those left within. Each town has it’s own Heart Beat: Thump, Thump- Thump, Thump. And All can go astray when doing wrong feels so right. Remember: Be careful what you do, when feelings seem so right. CSEastman Written 8-15-2014… ‘A bystander, very close by’
