Poem
A man gets killed by the police in a most undeserving way, we all see it and all agree they were wrong, and will have to pay. The president himself sees it and then sends in the F.B.I., to figure out why this happened, since such behavior cannot fly. The cop who did it is locked up, to face what verdict may be found, and somehow people think this means they should burn the whole city down?! As if wanton destruction can undue something already done? As if hurting other people will improve the world for everyone? As if destroying your own jobs 2ill somehow make everything right? And not just convince others to distrust all of you at first sight? And those criminal stereotypes that people complain of all the time, do you think arson and assault will make those people change their minds? Do you think people that you hurt will say,”It’s justified,”when they bleed? They did nothing to deserve this, you’re just planting future hate’s seed. The lefties types may support you, but eventually, when this all fails, do you think those politicos will care much when you rot in jail? And what of those in your neighborhoods who seem homes and business destroyed? You ruin a person’s life work they’ll be more than a little annoyed. Since most of these folks are you own, your fathers, your mothers, your kin, do you think destroying their lives could ever somehow be a ‘win?’ You’re not fighting for justice here, you're just violent, criminal scrum, we all see you on the TV, running around as if it’s just fun. Did Martin Luther King loot towns when faced with oppression far worse? Would Jim Crow have been defeated if he’d acted a violent jerk? And when the big guns do come out, you'll find yourselves well and truly f@#ked. Nothing excuses what’s going down, you rioters all truly suck.
