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.

Let us not forget him…
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 so much for the re-blog Jueseppi, this issue is too important to let fade away into the night. Peace to you my friend.
You do vital things, on your blog. Thank you.
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!
Here, here! Thank you so much.
To sacrifice such a good man
Thank you my friend. 🙂
Welcome 🙂 my friend
Amen!
Such a messed up & sad situation…
May Michael Brown rest in peace.
Indeed and I hope that his death sparks some much needed change.
