Victim of the Broken System

September 10, 2013

Bam! Everything is all said and done.

In a system so fucked up a white man apparently didn't murder no one.

A man found not guilty who committed a crime

because the system is fucked up so he serves no time.

R.I.P to the young man that passed away.

Just know that forever in out hearts you will stay.
