george Zimmerman (age 28) ought to be pitched headlong
into the alligator and crocodile infested everglade
for his senseless killing (outright murder) of trayvon martin
slammed as involved some illicit wick kid trade
(a slender african american of only 17),
whose martyrdom grows as days/weeks fade
an exemplary gregarious helpmate
swimming against the tide to make the grade
now slain while just a youth - the unfounded killing
by a neighborhood watch volunteer who felt afraid
that this dark skinned young man appeared suspicious
pulled the trigger with comeuppance to be paid
though -- no retribution can restore lifeless body,
still the agitated waters nor offer protective shade
from the justifiable media frenzy sparked from geraldo rivera made
even with unanimous hoodwinked approval of guillotine blade
for violence cannot rejuvenate a promising future evinced
by trayvon martin reincarnated into tree or leaf blade
but only serves to beget subsequent violence
now unto his grave said teenager laid!
