I am Trayvon Martin br Yo soy Trayvon Martin br Je suis Trayvon Martin br Mwen se Trauvon Martin br br For a long time and even now, br Justice br Is never irrelevant to us. br Very often, we wonder how br Come we are always br The victims, the culprits, br The ones who get dumped in the pits br In the shallow graves. br We get killed by being in the wrong place br At the wrong time. br We get mace on our face br For no reasons. br A horrendous crime br Is being perpetrated this season br By the namby pamby warden, br Who should be in jail, in prison. br This is high treason br For not respecting valor, br Uniforms, candor br And peers. br No one cheers, br Once ignorance br And malfeasance br Show up at the door br Of the poor br Victims. br Everyone screams, br Because the injustice br Is blatantly obvious. br This is somewhat peculiar. br The skin color br Of the Scholar br Is the matter. br The brother and the sister br Finally got a job, br But when the stock broker br Can no longer rob br The poor clients; br The brother and the sister, br Who were last hired, br Are the first saints br To be fired. br Our offspring is profiled br From the crib; br Our progenitor is defiled br Anon, at the bottom of the crypt. br Justice br Is never irrelevant to us. br br Copyright© March,2012, Hebert Logerie, All Rights Reserved br Hébert Logerie is the author of several poetry books: br ‘Etincelles de l'Amour', ‘Monts et Vallées de l'Amour', br ‘Sparkles of Love' and ‘Mounts and Valleys of Love' br https: www2.xlibris.combookstorebookdisplay.aspx? bookid=58359 br http: www.poemhunter.
