No Justice

Ferguson, Mo.

From afar

I watch this

Unfold before me.

As a young man

Is killed

In an exchange

Between him

And the police.

While

Some protest

In a peaceful manner.

Others

Don't care

Just wanting to destroy

Whatever they can.

Tearing apart

The very community

Which their actions

Are supposed to support.

Using whatever excuse

They can cling to.

Whether

It's the death

Of a young black man.

Or the failure

Of the grand jury

To find reason

For the police officer

To be charged

In this senseless death.

Realizing

How lucky

Canada has been

To dodge this bullet

Which racks the US.

Knowing

This could happen

Here

Too.

Well written. Only two people know what happened, and now we'll never know.
A minor thing -- Are supposed instead of Is suppose

Generally, is the case, given a situation, like the Ferguson, Mo incident, only the victim and the one, who pulls the trigger knows. Even then, we only get, tainted recalling of events.

Thanks, for the correction.
