Let It Burn
The streets aflame with injustice
Curfews imposed do not negate
the fear instilled
It began as a funeral pyre
was hijacked
Turned into a molotov
of burning distrust
Let it burn
Scorched earth cleared
reveals a hardier crop
You have to peel back
the scabs from burnt skin
to allow for the healing
to begin

Wow. This is very good and so succinct and timely.
Very powerful!
I am really compelled to read the first verse over and again. It is just the plain ol’ truth. Every word is important. Necessary. Wonderful images.
