Ferguson Is Burning

The Grand Jury decision was not what the oppressed wanted to hear. Even though I don't agree with their decision I greatly respect it. Their's was a job I would never want and I work in the system!
Ferguson is burning and I'm not talking about the buildings on fire. I'm talking about their betrayed spirits, about history reaching out from the depths of lost time to choke a bruised nation.
I fear the riots are only the beginning. I fear another Civil War.
I fear we are losing our people to disinterested politians and racism.
Racism and oppression are alive and well and they're coming with a vengeance.
