When The Looting Starts Poem by Hebert Logerie

When the looting starts
The shooting starts
Acting too tough
Makes things rough
For the Police and everybody
Minneapolis is not Miami
Chief Headley has been dead
There is no room for hatred
Violence begets more violence
That's a bad precedence
Only the worst presidency
Can come up with such a bad theory
With such a disastrous formula
In the middle of an incendiary saga
Intolerance is a sign of immaturity
Compassion heals pain and misery
Comprehension and ignorance
Don't mix in this season with incompetence
Knowledge is gained via patience
Humility, experience and tolerance
When the looting starts
The shouting for calm starts
The shouting for peace starts
The love for country starts
The cry for peace starts
The healing starts
The process for justice starts
The brotherhood starts
The hate stops
The violence stops
The lies stop
The evil tweets stop
The bad raps stop
All stupid craps stop
When the shooting starts
The raving starts
Justice is a panacea
For a vile and fiery saga.
