SKITTLES?



 It wasn’t about the skittles
Or the Arizona sweet tea
It was about a precious life
That was ripped from his family

It wasn’t about the hoodie he wore
Or the neighborhood he was in
It was the fact that he was gunned down
Because of the color of his skin

 

 

 

 

~ Haiku ~

Always remember
The injustice that took place
Your child could be next!
