If A Tree Falls

No Charges For Officer In Michael Brown’s Death

If a tree falls in a forest And no one hears it Does it make a sound?

If a tree succumbs To six sharp swings From the lumberjack’s axe,

If it crashes to the ground With such great force That it shakes a whole nation,

If the earth beneath the tree Buckles violently From the impact of its fall,

If it groans and screams Like broken branches And torn limbs,

If the sound it makes Isn’t beautiful Like the songs of slaves, Does it make a sound?

Take out your goddamn earplugs.
