Distrust
Distrust of authority
Hopeful people
Embrace protest
Expecting that tolerance
And justice
Will prevail
But fiery, drawn out words
Lead to violence
As the verdict
That there is no justice
Wafts over the crowd
The morally challenged
Strike out on both sides
And protest is viewed
As troublesome
Because a few
Bad apples who harm
Properties and they destroy
The good voices
Lost in some eyes
The cause still good
Justice may still prevail
But morale low
As the town burns
