I was just sitting down at my computer and saw a video featuring a piece "Black Boy Wonder" written by Omar Hardwick and performed by the actors and I began to write:
My Poetry's Truths:
Motionless.
No life.
Mouth open.
So are my eyes.
Rolled back over on my stomach.
Bullet backs out of my chest.
Fighting to save my life.
Running from this unknown man.
Standing under the mailbox shed.
Walked back up to the store.
Going back into the house.
Sitting back down on the couch.
I just rewind time.
If I could take back this life of mine.
But we all know that this doesn't exist.
So in the beautiful heavens is where I live.
-Trayvon Martin
