T rayvon is just a name,
R andomly butchered the same
A mong so many others,
Y ouths, sisters and brothers,
V ictims of an old system
O f which prejudice is the stem.
N o more we must stand…
M artin L. King did understand
A ll of this and did preach.
R ally yourselves to reach
T otal unity in brotherhood,
I n community and hood,
N ot killing for a hood…

Lovely
Thank you, Jess!
I’m glad you wrote this poem, Guy Cayemite. I refuse to believe that Trayvon died in vain… Maryse, I’m very excited about your corner. I read some of your poems, and you’re a talented writer! Keep up the good work.
Thanks so much, Estelle Guerlain! You’ve just blew some wind beneath my wings.
