Dear Baltimore...

I am in no way a poetess, but these are just some thoughts I had about the riots taking place in Baltimore -- that so happened to come out as a poem and I just went with it. :)

 

Dear Baltimore,

 

My heart breaks that you are so sad;

 

I see past the anger and I understand why your mad.

 

You're fed up with the way you've been treated;

 

Another black death is again repeated.

 

You need an outlet to release your rage;

 

You want freedom from this cage

 

Of oppression, violence, and the like;

 

You're tired of sitting hands; you're ready to fight!

 

But wait! There's gotta be another way;

 

Violence, arson, and looting is not okay.

 

I know it feels right, but it is very wrong;

 

You'll find you've done more harm than good all along.

 

So dear Baltimore, I hope that you hear me;

 

Think twice about what you're doing --

 

Because the whole world is watching.

 

Enough destruction has been had;

 

Instead, work towards the future, and hold solemnly to the past.

 

Strive for a better future for your children;

 

Not leave your own community in desolation and ruin,

 

Dear Baltimore.

Yeah, this whole situation is horrible. I can't say I didn't see this coming, though; just didn't know when or where. But now that it's here, the magnitude is quite shocking.
