As the verdict was read
Trayvon lay dead
Zimmerman displayed a broad smile
The media praised his lawyer’s style
The persecution laid claim to doing their best
However, no theory to the case was given before their rest
The stand your ground law was used to support Zimmerman’s release
The right wing cheer strongly touting their beliefs
Shoot first with deadly force and let the questions come later
A cover for those who are known to be haters
A young black boy walking home from the corner store
Never to be hugged, kissed or seen alive by his parents anymore
The pursuing aggressor was painted as the victim
Not withstanding he was a man caring a gun…”oh my God what a system”
George Zimmerman said he was not sorry it was God’s will
What God would sanction any unarmed human being killed
The jury deliberated for about 16 hours
Sitting high upon the perch from their ivory towers
Six women five white one women who’s race that couldn’t be identified
Returned a verdict that brought tears to the majority of the peoples eyes
The police and Florida’s justice system had their way
Setting free a killer to prey and kill another day
The gave him back his gun and set him free to roam the neighborhood again
Rendering his brand of justice shoot first which only his story to be told in the end
It was said by many that race was not a factor in the case
The judge would not allow the term racial profiling to see the light of day
The racial climate of the nation seemed to return rapidly to the past
When the people shouted, “A black President thank God Almighty at last”
The same fear that perpetrated death and brought young Trayvon’s life to an end
Was emboldened in those who hate other’s feeling superior because of the color of their skin
All through the nightmare Trayvon’s parent’s demonstrated courage, dignity and character
Calmed all the anger and allowed peace to be the guide an uplifting factor
Oh Trayvon our son your death will not be in vain
Your death has awaken the truth again that racism still reigns
Oh George Zimmerman you may be free and think you gotten away
However, your evil act of hatred once again ignited the people to join together and continue the fight for a better day
