Thoughts on Ferguson

Michael Brown got shot
This debate on police violence has been hot
Was Michael in the wrong?
It seems somewhere before I've heard this same song
Ice T talked about it in Cop Killer long ago
There is something these police need to know
The airport screening, the drones
These freedom stealing measures make us feel more alone
Like no one cares for our welfare
Just doesn't seem very fair
The cameras, the unnecessary searches
Make the gate way arches shadows menacing lurches
Fear and untrust creep in
Where will it all end?

About this poem:
The cop who shot Michael Brown resigned because he thought it would calm the violence that has erupted out of this tragedy. He still hasn't been brought to trial. Seems cops can kill anyone they want because it's really about the state mattering more than the people.
