The Purge

What began as a simple peaceful protest  
has deteriorated into civil unrest  
 
Instead of honoring the memory of George Floyd with respect
people have turned our cities into a nightmare of a  train wreck
 
Police sirens wale day and night as if they are singing a dirge
while people on their own neighborhoods are being a scourge  
 
 
We are now suffering through a new calamity
this is what happens when human beings lose sight of their humanity
 
 
By robbing  one another
you are only stealing your own Brother
 
As looting's and burglaries surge
I am now living through the purge
