Poem -
St. Paul Burning
I struggle to sleep
As violence erupts
In my street
Just a block from me
Is the Minnesota
Governor’s Mansion
Fearing this volcano
Of hellfire humanityÂ
I write as a catharsis
While hearing the rants
Bullhorns, curses, sirens
And the lamentations
Of people frustrated
Of youth agitated
And of those disconcerted
World please know
The people of St. Paul
Are angry and appalled
That a young man
Loved by children
Was killed like a dog
Why did the officer shoot?
Why did Philando have a gun?
Two ruined lives, not just one
St. Paul needs prayers
St. Paul needs God
St. Paul needs love
But what this city
Absolutely doesn’t need
Are anymore fucking guns
Tonight this poet will not sleep. Peace brothers and sisters.

Hello Kimmy...
It's so terrible what's happening...
What's happened already?
It seems the more people that want a better change for a better world...
It's clear to see which side someone is on...
People everywhere are angry, confused, frustrated, and filled with negative emotions...
They are trying to make a statement...
Unfortunately, Â many innocent people are being killed for no reason...
I know it seems God is nowhere to be found...
We can't pray away fear...
Everyone at some point will have to make an account face to face with God...
Many won't be able to stand or speak...
No weapon formed against you can prosper...
If God be for you who can be against you?
When you are in the Father's hands...
Nothing can tear you out of them...
Great write!
Thank you for sharing...
Hugs...
