R.I.P. Trayvon Martin
A place that rays with sunshine;But not with sun
Rays with tears;Of all who heard
A pack of Skittles walks down the road;But is not alone.
His inoccence taken away;But hasn't begun.
A life filled with dreams; Now shattered.
One man disobeyed; Left us a tradgedy.
A stereotype ended his life; which only just began.
A battled war has begun again; Did it ever end?

Seventeen year old Trayvon Martin died last month. He didnt have a chance to live his life. He only wanted to watch a sports game on tv. So a trip to the corner store wouldnt hurt. Right? Wrong. Eager to get to the tv to watch the game, he takes a shortcut home. Its raining outside and a little chill in Florida. A good way to stay covered? A hoodie. The breeze in the night would only make your hands cold. Why not tuck them into your jeans for warmth. A man (Zimmerman) notices the young boy. His first thought: Call 911. He immediately describes Trayvon as a: Black, drunken dangerous man. He disobeys law enforcement and follows the boy. He was not im his right mind and approached him. Moments later there are gun shots, numerokus 911 calls and a dead seventeen year old boy.
I understand that a person in a gated community who may or may not be on watchman duty (His story). Or may or may not be headed to the store (His brothers story) is worried about their own safety. Fighting back and protecting yourself from danger is self defense. But it comes to a point where the self defense line is crossed. As in taking a dangerous weapon and hurting and killing another human being.
I am not rasict. Many of my fans know me as kind and loving. But, I am a black teenager. I have to be honest and admit this. If this tragedy occured in any other ethnic group (White, spanish etc) the outcome and desicions would be different. Each case is different matter the race. All cases should be fair. Families of the victim and supporters only ask of one thing. Justice. A fair trial and justice. Every case has and injured or dead victim. Every case has a jailed accuser. Our victim is dead. Where is our accuser?
Please support Trayvon Martin. No matter your race or background. This is a case that must have justice. Place yourself in anothers shoes. What if this was your life situation? Please keep the Martin family in prayer. Support This Cause.
Rest In Peace. Trayvon Martin.
God bless. <3
