Lest We Forget Him

Lest we forget him

Michael Brown finally rests

But the fight goes on

His family still in mourning

Must live a life without him

This is a disgrace

As a nation we should weep

Drowning in our tears

Not for Ferguson alone

But for ourselves and country

    Time will only help if we take action.

      Very true, but the key to what you said is to “take action”. Thank you Martha.

      Thank you Cheryl-Lynn, I really appreciate that you re-blogged this one. I think it is vitally important not to let this fade away.

        No and my cousin also passed away two weeks ago, Father Michael…so this young man will be in good company, I have no doubt.

        Thank you very much, I try as I think there are so many things wrong in this country that we all need to confront.

    Thank you Dom! And bless your heart!

      Thank you Shelby, I really hate when this happens and inevitably it always does. So I guess it is up to us to keep pushing the issue so that it doesn’t get forgotten.

    We must never ever forget any of these tragedies! They will, if we let them, keep us away from repeating them! Thank you, Dom!

      Unfortunately we are seeing this fading away already in the mainstream media so I guess it is our job to keep bringing it up.

        As poets, I agree! The words of a people!

      Indeed and I hope that his death sparks some much needed change.
