Justice


Justice

 

The 26th of February

2012

Grey hoodie, late-teens, well he looked black

But did that make it okay?

Did his appearance make it okay to shoot?

To take the life of an innocent 17 year-old?

Apparently it was

His killer walks free yet he lays still

But his legacy continues to walk

Awakes the senses of the unaware

Justice

Justice for Trayvon

Justice for all
