A Note from Trayvon


Poem 4.10.2015 (A Note from Trayvon)

Debrief the mercy the false gods send.
Mercy kills more cleanly than does spite.

Behold.  Zimmerman, his wanton finger in shock
Of memory bullets prayer into my skin,
His Darwin-Strauss tongue drips “Amen, Baba.”

Beware of mercy. Fall not in sin.
Let gods forgive Zimmerman. I shall not.


Jerry W. Ward, Jr.
