trayvon martin - slain teen

CATEGORY

life

Views: 42

george Zimmerman (age 28) ought to be pitched headlong

into the alligator and crocodile infested everglade

for his senseless killing (outright murder) of trayvon martin

slammed as involved some illicit wick kid trade

(a slender african american of only 17),

whose martyrdom grows as days/weeks fade

an exemplary gregarious helpmate

swimming against the tide to make the grade

now slain while just a youth - the unfounded killing

by a neighborhood watch volunteer who felt afraid

that this dark skinned young man appeared suspicious

pulled the trigger with comeuppance to be paid

though -- no retribution can restore lifeless body,

still the agitated waters nor offer protective shade

from the justifiable media frenzy sparked from geraldo rivera made

even with unanimous hoodwinked approval of guillotine blade

for violence cannot rejuvenate a promising future evinced

by trayvon martin reincarnated into tree or leaf blade

but only serves to beget subsequent violence

now unto his grave said teenager laid!
