Ferguson

 

It’s happened again another young black man shot down…

This time in a place in Missouri name Ferguson town…

Some reported he was shot with his black hands held high…

A white policeman approached him firing several bullets deciding he should die…

People claimed and called the young man the gentle giant…

Yet later police showed evidence the gentle giant could be rather defiant…

However, when he was shot down he was not presenting a threat…

Bleeding from an earlier would his T-shirt soaking wet…

The people came together to express their concerns and civil rights…

The police responded using tear gas and rubber bullets all through the night…

Chief of police reacted with armored vehicles and levied his heavy white hand…

Causing discord not only in Ferguson but, all across the land…

Policemen perched behind machine guns atop assault vehicles taking dead aim on those they where to service…

Eagerly, waiting for the  orders give those demonstrators what they deserved…

The white police chief and his band of white soldiers closed rank deciding on force…

The Governor then selected a black man to lead the process taking a different course…

The new leader from the area and looked exactly like those that were demonstrating…

He walked among them shaking hands and hugging them he saw them as human beings…

You can demonstrate and express your civil rights but, the law you must obey…

That was his message most of them complied yet, some chose another way…

The choice was destruction of property looting and burning becoming part of the problem acting like fools…

Distracting from the real issue young Mike Brown deserved justice by using effective and positive tools…

This behavior must stop.. it only fueled the oppressor,  it rallied the KKK to raise money and support the one that killed…

The issue is more important than anything they could steal…it’s about justice equality and the right of the people to express their peaceful will…

Let’s be real about what’s going on in Ferguson the white minority control the black majority economically and politically

The whites have and the blacks have not…not a surprise in America you’ll find this typically..

When young men and women of color have an opportunity to quality education, careers and jobs it likely they won’t steal cigars

An reduce the likeliness on being killed at such a accellerated and alarming horror…

People of Ferguson please hear me when I say you’re at a crossroad

You have the opportunity to be a catalyst for your own positive change a reduce your heavy load..

Keep your focus on the issues and pressing forward with dignity and pride

Stand together vote together as one.. black, white, red, yellow and brown all in stride..

Family choose the high road let the truth unfold..be the answer..allow the system to be exposed..

Let it reveal itself in it’s true form and let it all draw to a close

Your son Michael the gentle giant to you his death won’t be in vain

He’ll live on in the minds of people forever the gentle giant he became..A catalyst for positive change…

“To the Family and the people of Ferguson”  (“Hands up don’t shoot’)
