Just because you are young
Doesn’t mean much to some
But because you are black
It means nothing!
Somebody killed another child!
Somebody murdered another child!
Why are questions unanswered
Challenges unchallenged
Lives taken away
And hopes seem like it’s gone.
The Joshua Generation depleted
A future uncertain unless—
Yes unless we arise and say
Enough is enough!
When are we going to stop
Violently killing our youth?
Sending lambs to slaughter
A nation that study war
Can’t stop young men
From dying on our streets.
Why in the hell is this so?
RIP Trayvon 2013
