M.I.A.

Location

In cartoons you see a hero in times of trouble

I guess it's true that you shouldn't believe everything you see on TV

Who would save the unarmed teen?

No one...

There he lied

Until the final beat of his damaged heart

A fight for justice ensued

only to be destroyed

and the murderer set free

WHERE WAS THE HERO?

WHERE WAS TRAYVON'S HERO?

WHERE WAS THE HERO FOR ALL THE OTHER MURDERS?
