Trayvon
by Maya Angeloo

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.

Now we'll get another Clinton funeral moment.

Someone at the White House needs to turn on the TV so Obama can learn about this.

YBMTI!..................

Now I’ll never find out why the caged bird sings!

Nothing you can say will be significant compared to facing her Creator.

Even if she is saved, she will be held to account, perfectly, for every word (as will we all).

Nipsey was better.

Nipsy Russell was a cia agent.

Does anyone with measurable IQ give a sh...er...smelly Obama?

What a zero.

“Who?”

An anti-Semite (actually anti-white in general) best known for bad poems read in elementary schools throughout the country.

Second that.

Well this should knock the whack job in Santa Barbra off the lead.

I especially like the last line. Bravo.

Reminds me of “Courageous” where the hispanic “gang leader” was in the back of the patrol car, ordering lunch in Spanish in a threatening tone to the thug they’d picked up, causing him to panic.

A haiku:

Maya Angelou
The lefties loved her poems
Overrated. Bye.

[Texas Eagle]

How tragic. This is one of those events that will stick with me forever. I’ll always remember where I was and what I was doing the day I heard.....uhhhhh.....what were we talking about again? Ooh. Look. A butterfly.

[Tijeras_Slim]

LOL, you almost got me.

[mylife]

Green trees, euripadis, piles of stones all over me’s...

What a loss

Oh well, God rest her liberal soul.

I had a similar experience in the mid 90s. She is still a big lib and single.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Is she the one who wrote...”Kill my landlord....Kill my landlord....C-I-L-L my landlord”?

No, but she wrote words to the effect that oppressed people do not simply yearn for their freedom, they yearn to feel their boot heel against the throat of the oppressor.

Perhaps the best summation of RacePolitik in this country I've ever heard.
