Noah in his Ark
only 40 days of rain did he and his animals have to endure
In the City
of Roses 50 nights of riots and looting and safety of citizens no longer can be
insured
The protests
peaceful over the death of George Floyd that ignited a wave of indignation
A black
handcuffed with hands behind his back being slowly choked to death merits only
condemnation
It was
fitting and proper that both whites and blacks over what looked like an
execution peacefully took to the streets
Caught on video
outrage feelings and maybe a chance to racism against blacks defeat
But what the
Seattle mayor termed the summer of love did not long last long
Peaceful
protests hijacked by burnings, lootings and violence that did not belong
The memories
of George Floyd’s death like the roses in a vase without wate have wilted away
Replaced by
days and nights of anarchy and destruction of property on display
Mayor
Wheeler in trying to stem the riots is clearly over his leftist head
More likely
than not he would like to advance his defund the police agenda instead
As federal
officers move into the city to protect federal employee and federal buildings
from flames
Wheeler and
the governor bemoaning their lack of spine point at Trump the rioting blame
No Justice
No peace may be the BLM cry
But violence
will any needed justice deny
Racism is an
issue that we all should try to meet
But not
while cities like Portland are crushed under rioting in their streets
