Michael
Brown was killed in Ferguson, prompting riots and the creation of Black Lives
Matter
Nights
of looting and burning as the rule of law in Ferguson was shattered
A
false narrative of hands up don’t shoot
To
justify the thugs desire to burn and loot
Even
the president and Holder weighed in with FBI flooding the Ferguson scene
A
reflex response to a shooting with a hate crime investigation to convene
Months
later in a house near a house near that of Michael Brown
A
nine year old girl with fourth grade homework to do had just sat down
Shots
rang out and Jamyla soon lay dead on the floor
A
black shooter whose heinous act the
Black Lives Matter crowd seems to have ignored
Only
the sounds of silence, no demonstrations and no protesting parades
Do
black lives matter only if a cop shoots? Give me a break, a total charade
Dozens
of blacks are killed by black thugs on each and every day
Nameless
in the news, no anger of the Black Lives Matter movement to display
Nameless
unmourned victims except to grieving family and friends
When
will Black Lives Matter be marching in the streets to protest the black on
black killing trend?
Demanding
more police in their neighborhoods not less
To
with the community’s help to try to this murder rate suppress.
