Trayvon
by Maya Angelou

I sing of thee Trayvon,
Lamented burnt umber crayon.
Should 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 can’t of known - ‘twas black-boy season.
Stand your ground, ground and pound,
Frito Bandito shot you down.

When will they honor Tyrone Green:

Dark and lonely on a summer’s night.

Kill my landlord. Kill my landlord.

Watchdog barking. Do he bite?

Kill my landlord. Kill my landlord.

Slip in his window. Break his neck.

Then his house I start to wreck.

Got no reason. What the heck?

Kill my landlord. Kill my landlord.

C-I-L-L my land lord!

Did Angelou actually write this?

Can't even spell correctly.

Not to mention bad grammar and blatant racism.

Frito Bandito? Racist much? I thought Zimmerman was a WHITE Mexican according to MSM?

Nice poem, very funny. Made me think of Bernard Mcgurk channeling Maya Angelou back in the day. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBwSKPCwCmA
