Why Turn Against Each Other

Why are we turning against each other, especially when we need each other most? We kill, we shoot, we lose innocents but why are we killing those who have done no harm instead of those who have? Why are we turning against each other? Police officers shooting down teens, people shooting down officers but no one deserves to die no one at all Why are we turning against each other especially when we need each other most? Look at yourselves. You kill when there isn’t an enemy. You are putting America to shame. Why are we turning against each other? Look at our troops They have grown to be a family They would never kill one another because they know we are not the enemy Why are we turning against each other especially when we need each other most? Too many people are dying for no reason at all but what can be said? Not “Everything’s gonna be alright.” Why are we turning against each other? Smite the strikers but for what? They only practice their freedom of speech, they only want to be heard but instead they face jail time, abuse, and death. Why are we turning against each other especially when we need each other most.
