Sense Sonnet - Chiller

 Jury Still Deliberating

In a full New York subway car

A black man threatened many folk,

Acting in a manner bizarre,

And yelling that this was no joke.

A white man put the black man in

A chokehold learned as a Marine.

Black versus white case did begin

When the black man died on the scene.

Colors involved so case was brought.

Was it murder or self defense?

Heavy burden the jury's got,

Mixed emotions and evidence.

How this case finally turns out,

Subway riders pay heed no doubt.
