I am Trayvon Martin and the American Judicial System failed me

Zimmerman said it was God's will that Trayvon died that night I guess it was God's will because Zimmerman was found not guilty. I really don't know how people can say God is loving and just.
 
Sabrina and Tracey my heart goes out to you, you were robbed of someone so special and unique, he will never be replaced.
 
This shit hurts
 
Thank God I'm an Atheist
 
I am Trayvon Martin and the American Judicial System failed me
 
from the day I was born with my brown skin
there was a bull eye branded on my back
I was born in a country that has never treated my people fairly, justly nor with respect and dignity.
 
I am Trayvon Martin and I am not the only victim
my family was also victimized, I hope this tragedy they survive
even in death I was criminalize, even though I was the one with tears in my eyes
I was the one screaming for help, until the bullet was felt
my heart stopped, a deadening silence, then I saw blackness, is what how we are supposed to end up

There are countless others, shot and killed unarmed
their murderers, self proclaimed neighborhood watchmen, racist, and crooked cops, all found not guilty
 
My parent always said Trayvon if you get in in a bad situation
just shout out "Jesus" and say God deliver me from thine enemies hand
I cried out to God but my cries went unheard
George Zimmerman I never knew you before this night
if I had known you, do you think we could have converse
over skittles and ice tea about the break-ins in the community
maybe you would have known, on a chill night I like to put on my hood
you would have known that my dad and his fiancee live in the neighborhood
but no, we had not met prior to this night, but, on this night I wept, your bullet struck my heart
I did nothing wrong, my only crime was being born black
 
Zimmerman found not guilty. WTF!
 
I am Trayvon Martin and I'm the latest tragic story of the American Judicial system like countless other before me, failed me.
 
George Zimmerman said "God is on my side," I guess he was right, he was set free, because he believed in his God. Maybe I did too.
 
God is subjective, existing only within the experiencer's mind, rather than objective, something that actually exists.
 
if you believe in him then you have to agree with George Zimmerman or maybe not. God is really the author of confusion, no matter what pastor's say.  
 
Guess reality is settling in again huh! SMH
 
Yup Yup Yup I had to get this off my Chest.
