For Trayvon Martin

Location

You were made to protect the innocent yet the guilty go free.

He died because of racism so we stand against thee.

Trayvon was only seventeen and you shot him in the chest,

Our government will say that Zimmerman did what he thought was best,

Martin might be laid down,

but he will not die in vain,

we will not rest,

till Zimmerman is behind bars,

for causing so much pain.
