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.com/bookstore/bookdisplay.aspx? bookid=58359 <br />http: //www.poemhunter.com/hebert-logerie<br /><br />Hebert Logerie<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-am-trayvon-martin-justice-is-never-irrelevant/
