Sense Sonnet - Acher

Trayvon RIP

Trayvon Martin, a young black man,
Killed by gun in the U.S.A
Became famous as dying can
When race baiters want it that way.
Black killing black, white killing white
Across the country all the time,
But does not have the sales pitch byte
Of a white killing a black crime.
The scales of justice should be blind
To color any time and place.
But race baiters are of a mind
To sell emotion based on race.

We must not let race baiters win,
Profiting by color of skin.
