injustice
to my peers
filled with fear
walking home with alot of tears
thinking that if he can walk home with no weapon and get shot
then so can I
how can I hide
knowing that I am young and black
how can I let this fear subside
my dear ancestors hung because of race
now I can be shot because of race
once I step on to these streets
thats when the heat begins to boil
and I become less than the soil that so many people walk over
I am expected to be an uneducated fool
and try to just be cool
I do not want to be just an expectancy
I want to be above the average person
I can be the best black person
and still be allienated by the herd
so as far as being heard
the chances are very slim
we are the future
its not justice
its just us
its all up to you to make a change
There was a dream
now lets make it a reality
the fight is not over.
I am Trayvon Martin
