I am Trayvon Martin, by Jeffrey Kennebrew Subscribe to rss feed for Jeffrey Kennebrew

 
I am Trayvon Martin
My son is Trayvon Martin
We are Trayvon Martin
What ever happened to a dream deferred
When justice is blurred
How many people saw and heard
This young man crying for help
You are Trayvon Martin
We are Trayvon Martin
The invented enemy
The excuse to exterminate,
eliminate and 
humiliate
All to preserve false ideologies
of elitism
All to keep the rich, rich
and the poor, poor
All for power
Be careful where you wear 
Your hoodies
You might be mistaken for a hood see
That's all the excuse they need
To try to cover up their greed
Most of us are boppin along
Like everything is ok
Not realizing
They are Trayvon Martin
I am Trayvon Martin
We are Trayvon Martin
How many more Trayvon Martin's 
do we need
How many more
Amadu Diallo's
When are we going to say 
enough is enough
I've died a thousand times
I died again allstar weekend
Remember Trayvon Martin
I am Trayvon Martin
We are Trayvon Martin
Let's keep our son's from becoming
Trayvon Martin
