Ferguson

Sorrow are the memories we now all share
Understanding we want to have peace with you
Forseeing that there would be such a spark
Fighting for that love and all it can do
Emotions of anger and fear fill our hearts 
Racism was well on its way to being a thing of the past
Inside we have curled up or thrown punches 
Nightmares on God's soil are not unsurpassed
Grieving all the lives lost so fast
