Current Events

Thursday-Immigration Reform  
Shouts of joy, but bittersweet  for some 
Five million get to stay
While the rest has got to go
"You can come out of the shadows and get right with the law."
It is in the President's power, so Congress pass a bill.

Monday- Ferguson
No one is shouting for joy, no more
No indictment for the killing of Michael Brown
A city burns in the night
Shouts for justice 

But don't you worry Al Sharpton to the rescue
Speaking his mind
Right next to the family's attorney 
He is just as fame hungry as George Zimmerman
The parents are "profoundly disappointed."
And I wonder how many people listened to the parents' request 
For that four an a half minutes of silence 
Before taking on social media
And speaking their minds 
Hash tagging black lives matter over and over
We know this already 
It takes more than a hash tag
For the views of white America to change

Miscellaneous 
Violence is all around 
From the kidnapping of more than 200 schoolgirls
Because in my mind a group dares to fear an educated woman
To a group that puts fear in people beheading the innocent 
To prove they are the most powerful, stronger and the elite 
To here at home where women are getting gang raped
At a university and a president that dares to hide
The stats because no one wants to send their child
To a rape school
