I wonder if “stop committing crime” and “get an education” will figure high in their list of goals?

When it’s milking time in Obamaville, Saint Trayvon always magically reappears.

Wait until some kids have to go to Trayvon Martin High School, with its Michael Brown Memorial Gymnasium.

Of course located on Barrack Obama Blvd.

Dear Travon,

I understand that you were not given all the same advantages in life that many others were born with. Yet you have been given the same opportunity as everyone else to live a life of value. In fact you have many advantages that most of the world does not enjoy. You were born into a society where hard work and character are rewarded. It is true that once upon a time many blacks suffered under slavery. So did whites, but for neither color is it a crutch for failure. You were not born a slave, but free so use your freedom to make the most of life - to improve as many other lives as you possibly can through acts of charity, commerce and love.

The Bible says you reap what you sow. This makes as much sense in agriculture as it does in life. If one sows seeds of preparation, hard work, an honest character, loyalty and hope, he will reap the benefits of wealth, a loving family and a generational legacy. In a similar way, if one sows the seeds of gang violence, drugs, anger, self pity, undisciplined anger, and wallowing in how hopeless their future looks they will reap the fruits of despair, violence, and productive society will remove them to ghettos or prison.

Travon do not fight others except in a sporting contest or in self defense, doing other will provoke others to protect themselves at all costs. Those costs may be to you and more than you bear. Avoid drugs, they do not lead to more productivity in life but remove the blessings of productivity. Avoid the company of fools and evil men, they will only serve to make you a fool and engaged in evil. Travon above all learn to fear the Lord, this is the beginning of wisdom and the path of blessing.

I am sorry that you did not receive this letter while you were still alive, heeding its counsel might have saved your life. Perhaps other "Travons" will read it and scrutinize your example and come to understand that the way of blessing is not anger and pride, but fear of God, good character and enterprising labor.

May the Lord have mercy on your soul.

If I recall correctly, wasn’t the letter in cursive a letter written by her, explaining conversations with trayvon that night?

Seems odd she could write the letter but then claim not to be able to read cursive. Well, at least she got her high school diploma.......

Trayvon
by Maya Angelou

I sing of thee Trayvon
Lamented burnt umber crayon
Shoud of stayed at home
and got your lay-on
But you heard the siren song of wet grass
and headed for Seven Elevon.

Zimmerman the triggerman
Big game hunter lay in wait
White hispanic in a panic
Rubberheaded, held your fate.

By punching him, you tried to reason
You cant of known - was black-boy season
Stand your ground, ground and pound,
Frito Bandito shot you down.

Trayvon - Not by Elton John and Bernie Taupin

Trayvon wears his gold grill like a crown,
Call his child Skittles, cause he likes the name,
Suspended from the finest school in town.

Trayvon, Trayvon like his money,
makes alot they say.
Spends his days dealing, by the playground way.

He was born a bastard to a ho,
6 weeks past Christmas day.
When the New Tork Times says Clintons great,
Tracy Martin had a son today.

And he shall be Trayvon,
And he shall be a hood man.
And he shall be Trayvon,
in tradition with the family plan.
And he shall be Trayvon,
And he shall be a hood man.
......he shall be Trayvon.

Trayvon, steals womens jewelry all day,
His family business thrives.
Skittles blows up balloons all day,
Sits on the porch watching them fly.

And Skittles, wants to go to Venus,
and leave Trayvon far behind.
Take a balloon and go sailing,
while Trayvon, Trayvon slowly dies.

And he shall be Trayvon,
And he shall be a hood man.
And he shall be Trayvon,
in tradition with the family plan.
And he shall be Trayvon,
And he shall be a hood man.
......heeee shaaaall beeee TraaaaayyyyVVVVVVooooooonn.

Something like this - showing off respectable black business owners and fathers is a GREAT idea. It is just that the target audience should be the black kids and young adults.

And maybe make the gang-bangers with their gold chains and stacks of cash and fancy cars could be made an example of too.

Who knows why you just had to make that lean,
who knows why you became part of the gangsta scene,
who knows who sold you all them blunts,
who understood your whistles and your grunts,
who made you assault the neighborhood watch,
whose jewelry was that you were caught with at school
who made you act the ghetto fool?

Why didn’t your Crip daddy stick around,
whose head on the pavement did you pound,
who had to make a decision that fateful night,
when you left him no escape and picked a fight,
who made the choice to mock and sass,
an armed watchman (you called “creepy ass”),
who could’ve gone home but didn’t there go,
instead walked towards a six foot deep hole.

Maya Angelou, highly rated, but doesn’t even reach the level of mediocrity. The joke is on us.
