by george, you got away


you may be a free man

your presence to this world will always and forever will be ban

every time you go to bed

sleepless nights

sounds of trayvon's voice echoing

you killed me

i was unarmed

waking up in terror

heart racing with fear

conscious suffocated with guilt

revolution in remembrance of this young kid institutionalize a stand we are made to built

nightmares that will leave you shaken

a person's life that was taken

all because of...............

he was black

he wore a hoodie

assumptions of him carrying something

where all he had was an ice tea on one hand and a pack of skittles on the other

what were you watching mr. watchman?

i forgot

you live in florida

one of the few states that remains to be racist

same place that cheated when george bush cheated to become president

oops, my back (had a moment)

all the smiles you were hiding

behind your sweaty suit

know that karma bites back

where the sun doesn't shine

everyone who gain from this young man's death

everyone who perceive trayvon as a criminal

everyone who open their eyes at this kid the wrong way

times up
