Spiritually written topenetrate the heart and mind. A poem that has yet to beunderstood. {Roaming Outside Traditional Thinking} Facing the past to shed the pain I exist, Black as I am, Still... I am somebody. Designed by God, But.

Defined by the world as a slang talkingnigger with nappy roots. Ridiculed... From head to toe. Trapped... Between ghetto and poor. Treated less than human in a worldoverflowing with colors.

I AM Trayvon Martin!!! Created with purpose, But... The world cares not to know, Unless... My name brings forth wealth and fame, Damn! What a shame. Lifestyle criticized, Darkness despised. Graduated, But... Thought not of as wise.

That I do seems not enough. Equal Rights Still... Denied in order not to rise World... Raping my soul before my eyes. Years of shame, In a world that feels not my pain. I AM Trayvon Martin!!! Life...

Is a struggle, I bear the scars, Freedom... So close, But yet... So far. Face the past and present ways of life. Under surveillance... In foreign owned places, Surrounded...

By suspicious faces. I AM Trayvon Martin!!! Racial slurs surround me in disguise. NIGGER! Viewed as a loser in a naked way, As if an alien from outer space. Imagine that! My soul, Disrespected. Dead presidents... Never rejected.

Love of money is of no surprise. Without black faces... Foreign owned businesses would struggle tosurvive. Fools bite the hands that feed them. I fight to keep hope alive, An uphill battle, Everyday... A part of me dies.

Happiness... Fades away to nothing. My ultimate demise! I AM Trayvon Martin!!! Criticized for wanting equal rights. It is unfair! Life without freedom... A fatal dream. My spirit is broken, And...

No one cares. Imagine being me. Damned for what I do, And... Damned for who I am. I AM Trayvon Martin!!! The melting pot is not what it seems, Builds you up, Tears you down! Equality is unequal! To wish upon an Oscar is of no means, Made to feel as if I'm not worthy to benamed, Unworthy of my soul, Unworthy of life itself, Unworthy to dream, In a world overflowing with colors. I AM Trayvon Martin!!! Vomiting my soul, Torment of inner parts from an emptywomb.

Confusion... No one knows. Withdrawals of dreams, Spiritual Illusions, Nightmares of an addict with lowself-esteem. Confusion... No one knows. Life...

Upside down. Blackness on hold. Single-mom... In the hood, Misunderstood. I AM Trayvon Martin!!! Would you trade places with me? Would you dare? Even though I am not yet free? Black fetus, Ejected from the womb, Not with a silver spoon. Awakened not to freedom, But...

To yesterdays anger. Branded for life. NIGGER! Rusty halo... Thrust upon the head. Rejected by society. Denied freedom, But...

Free to die in poverty. I AM Trayvon Martin!!! Face the past and present ways of life. Walk in my shoes, Stumble not on my shadow, To fall on the faces of death, Of... Seeds of the unknown. Travel my pathway of life, Of... Pain and sorrow.

Shock and awe of horror. The world cares not if I'm here today, Or... Gone tomorrow. I AM Trayvon Martin!!! Not how God intended for life to be. True freedom... Not yet reality.

African-Americans, Still hanging by the noose of prejudice, In the land of liberty. Single-mom, Still hanging from the family tree ofpoverty, In the land of liberty. Struggling to keep the flesh alive, In a universe with no spiritual unity, In a world that feels war will bring forthpeace, By cloning peace with evil. Spiritual vision unknown. Invitation to damnation, Nations against nations. Leaders bickering behind closed doors, In competition to be the best, Of the best.

To hell with the rest! Closer to destruction for lack ofknowledge. Unwilling To repent from yesteryears of anger, What a shame. Unwilling To wean the soul from the breast, What a shame. Unwilling... To overcome the fear of embarrassment, What a shame. Unwilling...

To put evil to rest, What a shame. Unwilling... To keep thy nose out of other folksbusiness, What a shame. Unwilling... To put God to the test, Damn! Damn! Damn! What a shame. Nations... Nations...

Sowing seeds away from home, Plant of wickedness... Taking root within. Destroying intelligent minds! Thistles... In the garden. Invisible wounds not yet healed. Dangling Jesus on a chain to numb thepain.

No words to say. In and out of battles, No time to pray. Crossing the line of fire to possess thegolden throne. Controlling earth, As if... Chosen at birth. Brothers killing brothers, For what God already owns.

What a crying shame. Greed has perverted the heart. How can the world justify the wrong? Why can't we all just get along? War... Spreads like cancer, What is it good for? Sprinkling death upon the earth, From whence thy came, Not the answer! God is the answer for the world today. What in the hell are we fighting for? A man that loves danger will perish in theend. Lust not after sin, An evil heart never wins.

Truce remains a mystery. Live by the sword, Die by the sword. Ashes to ashes, Dust to dust. Death is a promise, In a game of mass destruction. In whom do ye trust? Precious memories of a name, Scattered... In secret places, Beneath the earth.

Forgotten... Till due seasons, In the whirlwind of human greed. What does one gain for the life ofanother? Living traditionally, Is not living spiritually. Time to know God personally. Stop the madness! Thou shall not kill! Value the gift of life, Live And... Let live.

Put evil to rest. Focus... On the right, And... Not the wrong. He... Without sin, Cast...

The first stone. What part does thou not understand? Outcries of misery reign, But... Nobody listens, Nobody cares, Imagine that! Face the past and numbered days of life. Black and forgotten, Robbed of happiness, When will freedom ring? My dream to be free, Not yet reality, A nightmare is what it appears to be. Confusion... No one knows.

I AM Trayvon Martin!!! When will the world die for me? When will the world set me free? No remorse, No moment of silence, No sign of true equality. Unequal justice... Leads to riots. Bloody trails of destruction, Flesh... Abandoned by the soul. Confusion...

No one knows. How can the world say that I've been setfree? The world knows not how it feels to beme. I AM Trayvon Martin!!! What is freedom? What is freedom when millions like me aretrapped in poverty? Struggling... In the vomit of insanity. What is freedom? What is freedom when one violates mydignity? Animals have more rights than me, How am I free? How can the world say that all men areequal? Equal time is not equality. What is equality when there is one blackpresident? Black blood...

Excluded for decades, Why should I not be outraged? What is equality when only white men areprofiled on dollars and cents? World in fear of change. Damn! Damn! Damn! What a shame. Serpents... In the garden, Wearing crowns of thistles. Controlling earth, As if... Chosen at birth.

Why should I not be outraged? What is equality when an innocent black manis found guilty? Trials... Based on negative reactions, With no satisfaction. Innocence... Robbed of true identity, Though born a human being, Yet... Shackled like a beast. Stranger, In a born again world.

Captured by the white eyes of darkness. Black freedom... Robbed without a gun. One foot... In the grave. Truth shall set you free.
