#THE GEORGE ZIMMERMAN VERDICT ( Part Two )

VAPORS

Dust to Dust

Ashes to Ashes

Quivering Ripples

Heartbeat born tears gathering as Rivers

The George Zimmerman verdict

Is a disgust

Beyond the exclusivity of a Race matter only

Society ~ Our Moral and Ethical Priorities

Are setting on the stove

Over the flame of contorted legal permissions

My Tears witnessed

Folks, Peoples ~ You and I and We

Black, White, Hispanic, Asian,

Native-American, Middle Eastern

Leaves on Our Country’s Tree

Heartbeats rushed to the streets

With sour notes of disbelief upon their faces

Yet

For those who can not realize to understand

Or stubbornly refuse to understand

In these days of Continuing ~ The Wading into the River

Baptismal Tears in memorial of Trayvon Benjamin Martin

Baptismal Tears to fortify the hearts of Trayvon’s Parents

The Bones of Heritage and Soil

An Honored Coming Forth

Black Men, Successful Men

History Burning Tears in Their Hearts ~ The Frustrations

The Dark Alleys of Struggle and Perseverance

The having to double time march through life

With the loads of stereotypes, stigmas

And the tangled bushes of thorny realities on their backs

Ports of successfulness become dry docks

To repair the soul’s ships believed forever healed

Dust to Dust

Ashes to Ashes

The broken chains are affixed to a black man bones

~ It Seems Like ~ ~ ~ Forever ~

The Bugle tones are whispering taps

~ Not to Lay Dead ~

~ But to Arise with Honor ~

There are Perceptions and Laws that must be Changed
