Lisa, you now how I feel about your poetry, but this one is so on point...you keep the focus where it should be on a young man's death and have avoided the smoke and mirrors...excellent job!

I watched Trayvon's mother and brother testify today and it really brought it home for me today that they are a family hurting and grieving for their son and brother who died so senselessly...I commend you for writing an excellent and most insightful poem, Lisa

his mother was solid on the stand. I am so glad she did not allow the defense team to push her around...outstanding poetry, Lisa!

these passages say it all, Lisa
"for the remainder
of their lives
they will forever hear
the recorded
sounds of their
son’s last frightened
screams for help
all because
their son
was a young man
whose only crime
was walking down
a dark street
while Black"

I know Trayvon was murdered, but I am so afraid that justice will not be served in this case for the Martin family...powerful writing Lisa!

yes, I agree. I believe the jury will not convict as they should. I feel for the Martin family and pray they make it through this...powerful and prolific writing, Lisa!

I do believe the Prosecution could have done a better job with some of their witnesses but that does not negate the truth of this case...powerhouse poem, Lisa!

I agree Ciara about the Prosecution, but I am holding onto hope that they will do the right thing...if not we all have to move on...

I am with you, I pray that they get justice, but I am unsure at this time... |
