If I protest,

Love thy brothers and sisters
Believer in Him or not
One cannot deny, Love thy neighbor
To love thy neighbor
To love thy brothers and sisters

As the rest of us become motivated and brave.

For the justice of humanity.
For the justice of Fong Lee.
For the justice of all casualties
of racial ideologies.
For the killing of Trayvon Martin
who had a bag of skittles
