Detroit and riots
Detroit.
Once 2 million strong.
The cars being made in the great city of Detroit.
Mix of all people,
working hard and doing well.
The riot of 1967 and 1968.
Did it fix anything?
I saw my city of Detroit die.
The auto companies left the city,
once great city,
now 500,000 people.
Who won?
Please don’t destroy your cities.
They don’t come back and the businesses never come back.
Peaceful demonstrations, sit-in, work stoppage and voting.
The government fear peaceful demonstration and
when many stand as one.
We can change our world.
People who believe,
burning down your cities.
Can create change.
They are foolish,
and create chaos and government to take over.
We don’t want this.
If you riot and take from a private business.
You are a thief, criminal, heartless.
You stole from a business that employed people
and create jobs, income.
Detroit is trying to rise-up.
Time to stand as one.
A eye for a eye world.
Everyone shall be blind.

These messages are so powerful John. Unfortunately, it seems that those who need to hear do not want to listen.

I agree Peter. People who riot, not for a cause. To steal and destroy. So sad. I watched my city die in 1968. Still dead.

I don’t understand. Why would you destroy your city? Here in Detroit. Peaceful. I pray we gain common sense.

Not only do I not understand why anyone would destroy their own city, I don’t understand why anyone would allow them to do so. Our governor and mayor have done nothing to curb the destruction. 😦
