The Message Getting Muted

The reporting press are muting the message.
Ferguson officials are muting the message.
News analysis is muting the message.
Community leaders are muting the message.
But Mike Brown Jr. didn't get a chance to scream.
His friends and neighbors are having to do it for him.
Muting the screams with inappropriate calm and peace won't mean young people
are changing their minds.
It means the young won't continue to be candid in the presence of the sort of people
willing to offer rhetorical, prayerful, solutions to murderous outcomes.
