(Genesis 4:9) Trayvon Martin





HE MIGHT HAVE BEEN MY SON
SOMEONE I WOULD CARE ABOUT
HE MIGHT HAVE BEEN MY SON
OR FRIEND
INSTEAD HE WAS A STRANGER
SHOULD IT MATTER
A LIFE UNTIMELY STOPPED
FOR REASONS THAT HAVE NO REASON

WE TEACHERS OF RELIGION
HOW WE HAVE FAILED
SO MANY PEOPLE FEEL
THAT GOD
IS CHRISTIAN
WHITE
AMERICAN

WITH THE ARROGANCE OF THE ISRAELITES
WE FEEL THAT WE HAVE BEEN CHOSEN
THAT OUR CONDUCT
IS NOT SUBJECTED TO QUESTION

WE ARE SUPERIOR

HE MIGHT HAVE BEEN MY SON
HE WASN’T
BUT UNDER THE FATHERSHIP OF GOD
HE WAS MY BROTHER
