he killed Trayvon
with a bullet to the chest.
stone cold murder!
much as we’ve killed…
Vietnamese children,
South American children,
the children of Iraq,
and Afghanistan…
Japanese children,
Native American children,
and probably next
the children of Iran!
as Dylan mocks:
‘with god on our side’…
whose god?
what type of morality
justifies killing children?
we might just as well
be killing our own children!
and in a sense we are!
Trayvon demands justice…
so do the ghosts of all the children…
their faces ingrained in the curse
on our souls, on our land!
stop the killing!
Stop The Killing!
