It Has Gone Far Enough

When you see 
almost as many
White faces 
as Black ones
peacefully protesting
holding up 
"Stop Killing Black People" signs,
it's emphatically clear
that enough 
is really enough.
The American people 
are fed up completely
with police brutality
and want to be heard.
They demand justice
and accountability.
But who's listening
to the cries of change?
Does anyone care?

Hello Edward, you make a good point. I agree with Maureen. I hope this is over soon. I like this trouble to end. This is no longer about George. Have a nice day my friend.

I agree with you, Darlene. Looters are selfish opportunists and don't give a crap about George Floyd, at all.

So succinctly stated my friend. It appears that nothing was learned from the Stanford prison experiment, and Acton's "absolute power corrupts absolutely" has fallen on decidedly deaf ears. We have failed ourselves. Time to wake up! Blessings my friend, xomo
