he killed Trayvon <br />with a bullet to the chest. <br />stone cold murder! <br />much as we've killed... <br />Vietnamese children, <br />South American children, <br />the children of Iraq, <br />and Afghanistan... <br />Japanese children, <br />Native American children, <br />and probably next <br />the children of Iran! <br />as Dylan mocks: <br />'with god on our side'... <br />whose god? <br />what type of morality <br />justifies killing children? <br />we might just as well <br />be killing our own children! <br />and in a sense we are! <br />Trayvon demands justice... <br />so do the ghosts of all the children... <br />their faces ingrained in the curse <br />on our souls, on our land! <br />stop the killing!<br /><br />Eric Cockrell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/stop-the-killing/
