This is a poem I wrote in memory of Trayvon Martin who was shot in killed in Stanford, Florida for no logical reason.
Do I look suspicious?
Walking in the dark.
Hood up.
There was no justice that night
Just prejudice.
To judge by anything
You do not know.
Skittles
Snapple
Nothing much.
Just a soul, a heart.
Life can be thrown away.
Wasted.
Just like that fateful night.
In Stanford Florida .
Rest in Peace Trayvon.
Wow Nathan, this is powerful.
