ONE WONDERS WHY

It is so difficult to understand why

“Peaceful protestors” want to ruin

the cities they live in.  Are they just

waiting for an excuse to begin anarchy?

Normal citizens are not that organized

A policeman should not shoot anyone

unless it is absolutely necessary.  The

idea that a criminal is a victim and

retaliation should take place to the extent

that businesses are destroyed by looting

and fire is not normal, but rather a conspiracy.

It is a continuation of the overreaction to

The death of George Floyd, who died

a terrible death inflicted by one bad policeman. 

Insurrection across the country has cost

billions of dollars which the tax payers

will eventually pay for, whether they know it or not.

People and groups they belong to,

who do not love this country are the ones

promoting violence and paying

the Black Lives Matter Group and

the Antifa people to show up, advocate,

and lead the protestors to violent action.

Governors and mayors stand down and

the police are also told to stand down while

people watch what they have been working

for go up in smoke after the looting has taken place.

This will eventually end and sanity and order will be

restored, but people’s lives will be changed forever.

People look for blame and guilt but there is

enough to go around.  We, the living, have

to get involved in putting an end to the circle of injustice.

“De-fund the police” is not an answer.  Keeping

promises of improved education, improving

depressed neighborhoods, creating jobs and

instilling self-worth to those constantly overlooked

by politicians after having made the promises to

these citizens to improve condition.  Solutions are

obvious but implementing them takes courage. 

I hear the rhetoric but it echoes down the by-way

like the disappearing dreams of yesterday.

Someday, we may learn
