Kenosha Burned Last Night

Kenosha burned last night,
The flames engulfed the streets.
The peaceful protestors rioted.

Shops and stores set alight,
The flames lunged forward.
The peaceful protestors looted.

Homes and houses lit so bright,
The flames rolled toward them.
The peaceful protestors rampant. 

The Gov denounced police
And bound the NG with ROE.
The peaceful protestors released.

Gershon Wolf Date: 8/30/2020 7:59:00 PM Well, I, for one, appreciate what you've written. Enough of this 'peaceful protesting' euphemism when it's not. And when it's not, it needs to be stopped, as the precedents for looting and burning have gone way, way too far in this land of ours.... At any rate, Kenosha was where my dad and his brothers grew up, so I have a soft spot in my heart for it. I'm still only about 45 miles from where the family is buried... Thanks! ~ Gershon Login to Reply Linda Alice Fowler Date: 8/31/2020 6:10:00 AM Interesting Gershon. I have family living in Kenosha who, thankfully, have not as yet been physically accosted. They say it is definitely not peaceful. It is difficult to explain to the children.
