When does the gun become stronger than justice?

When does trying to taste the rainbow, lead to tasting death?

a man walks while one is burried,

holding his head up as high as his gun did...

tears fall, like the blood that dripped from the body of a boy who never got to move his tasle to the right

lies fly in a room of men in ties 

ties that wrap around the necks of men of the law

the one tie that wraps around the neck of man, who took the last breath of a teen boy

a boy who will never be seen again

the boy that will never see his first child

a boy who  will never see his high school diploma

a boy who will never kiss his bride

a boy whos name is Trayvon

when does the gun become stronger than Justice?
