Michael Brown

Gigantic, Rebellious, Disobedient.

 According to the media this describes Michael Brown exactly,
 Abstractly I ponder on how these assumptions are imposed by the media vastly..

 He is a criminal, he should have never stolen from a store,

 Remember that time you stole while in college and it never ended in gore?

 Well maybe he should have never reached for the gun, if he would have taken it we would be discussing two lives, not one

 Common sense is held from birth, this kid was not delirious, Today i'm going to take a cop's gun, think about it.. Are you serious

 Officer Wilson stated the more he fired, the angrier the look was Mr. Brown displayed

Well, we all know how much we would smile when a bullet invades our rib cage, right? Or could that look have been fright 

But Michael Brown had a history, he was very violent, He deserved what happened, he felt to much entitlement

 If we don't believe in change, how can we grasp a better future, God forgives all, so why can't the prosecutor, remember that time your dad shoved your mother? After awhile he was actually a good man you discovered 

I'm not here to judge, nor is the grand jury, especially when they are brainwashed prematurely,

 I am giving all I can, fighting to stand tall, if we don't push for change.. 

Surely as a whole we will fall

Well said. I do believe in change, and it comes slowly, and it comes painfully, at times, at it comes with a cost and it comes because somebody stood their ground and said, enough. Words spread. Especially good words, like these.

I really appreciate it Cyndi! I also believe in change, we must continue to bring these issues to the light and show the world that in fact there is a need for change first and foremost
