THE DEATH OF TRAYVON MARTIN
How many times have we been
confronted with the fear that engulfs
us when we hear a knock at our door?
How many times have justice
been misdirected when hatred and
misplaced laws lie at its very core?
With bad laws and suspicious intentions,
an act of an intentional death has
once again raised its head.
Where is the justice that the constitution
speaks of? An inclusive document for
all US Citizens, so I have read.
One would think that more then three
hundred years of hatred and bigotry would
have been enough to turn the hands of time.
One would think that a civil discourse regarding
justice for all would be the main talking points,
instead of working feverishly to cover up a crime.
So many people have suffered and died to
remove the stigma of racial injustice, yet
we find that the path to justice is still closed.
There are those that refuse to render justice
where justice is due. But we as a people have an
obligation to fight to ensure that the cover up is exposed.
My family and I pray that justice is done for this family,
and their son, Trayvon.
