Dear Mr. Zimmerman

by Jim Kopetz




Dear Mr. Zimmerman,
you stand against innocence,
and grotesquely
enter the scene.
So obscene.

But you thought,
and you looked up.
To white strangers,
like adoption.

So.
 
Fuck all the judges,
the sinners and saints.
Fuck an all white jury,
one latina, what fate.
Fuck all the racists,
with nothing but hate,
served up on soiled napkins
and paper plates.

Has justice prevailed or
simply unveiled,
the saintless,
and dictatorial,
deeds of mindless
ignorance.

You left us here.
Your outline bronzed
in racist fear.
Always to be remembered.
Never to be forgotten.

Change the system.
Trayvon Martin.
