Ferguson Missouri Riots

Ferguson Missouri Riots

A Chapter by A Soap Mess Stories

Black Oppression?
White supremacy?
Is racism still alive and well in America?

For a nation that welcomes immigrants
America still doesn't take kindly
To blacks in america

The shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown
By a police officer
Was it self-defense or a cover up?

One has to wonder
If racism will ever go away
In America?

Are the rioters any better
Setting buildings aflame
Looting stores

Is it right to cause riots
In the city streets
Simply because they don't like the court's decision

Wouldn't it be nice
If we all could
Handle our anger and hatred

Whether white, black, red or yellow
Simply get alone
In harmony and peace

As I look at the world today
It seems peace has gone out the WINDOW
Can no one get alone?

Still one only hopes
That harmony and peace
Abound in America and the rest of the world???

"alone" or along?

I felt your questions and understood the importance of individuals needing answers.

supposed to be "along"...thank your for reading Chris...
Agreed. I don't know what really happened in Missouri, because I wasn't there but I just wish cases like this wouldn't be turned into national incidents.
