Tragedy Occurred In Dallas, Texas - Usa 2016

Tragedy Occurred in Dallas, Texas (USA) 2016

A sniper
A peace fight
Police officers lost their lives.
From the highest tower, 
Shots are fired.
Over what is stated to be the white man crimes.

Of oppression and a racist society
A peace fight transpired.
Five officers died. 
We mourn and we cry,

Shouting the face of America has been scrutinized from
Transgression of another hate crime.
Six were wounded and five died
Over Black lives matter.

Upsetting the balance of society
A sniper manifested.
Upset with white people
He stated he wanted to kill a multitude of them
White police officers especially.

Today is troubled.
Tragedy is an ongoing melee.
Now an uproar throughout the United States.
