Sharpton Still Fanning The Flames

Throughout the nation over the Brown shooting responsible voices are calling for calm

Voices of reason trying to the passion of rioters in the streets becalm

The President has weighed in and a meeting at the White house he will convene

With the cold weather in Ferguson the torched buildings are no longer part of the TV scene

In a moment of peaceful protest before a Raider game 5 Rams raised their hands up in surrender

Save one person who has the pulpit and seems to want to more passions and protest engender

A Grand Jury has spoken and Michael Brown for justice may not be the poster child

Trying to disarm Wilson and then charging him, anger totally running wild

It matters not the verdict of this Grand Jury for to the man on the pulpit there only job was to indict

Regardless of what occurred leading to the violence that rocked Ferguson that night

Reverend Al, that noted tax deadbeat and cheat, is on a roll

Justice for Michael Brown belies his real goal

He cares not for the community that now looks like a suburb of Berlin in World War II

Businesses destroyed with little chance to rebuild, no easy targets to sue

Sharpton reminds one of the officer in Vietnam burning a village to the ground

In order to save it from the VC that around it large numbers would abound

Sharpton is part of the problem his sermons can only inflame

If he wants justice then less violence and more voting is how the forces of bias will be tamed

Less attacking a process, the transcript of which I doubt he has read

Sharpton in his rhetoric is clueless on how to achieve progress to allow race relations to move ahead

Stop lecturing us Al on the need to pay our fair share

While your tax payments have not been made as we now are aware
