Woke up this morning with a heavy heart & shed a tear just at the thought of what Trayvon's Family has endured. My heart & soul goes out to them, as I was able to hear my son's voice this morning, a privilege they had senselessly taken away from them at No Cost. Sadly enough, Trayvon Martin could have easily been any black kid anywhere in America & it hurts me deep to think about My son, My nephews, & all the children who witnessed this trial & how demoralizing it must feel to see another young black kid be blatantly murdered, his trial dragged this long & in the end see His life treated as if it was Worth Nothing! Is there life not as important as anything else. They are my concern. What do I tell them as i look into their eyes & see hopelessness, fear that they are not protected by our so called "Judicial System"? What do i say? Something has to change & what better time than Now? Let Trayvon's death not be in vain. As bad as I would like to make somebody pay for this I would be no better than Zimmerman if I did. We somehow have to allow that hate & frustration in our heart to be used not in retaliation but toward creating a brighter future for our children. This shit gotta stop by any means necessary!
