Trending In Florida, We Still Have Strange Fruit/CC?

Nicely done!

On 06/16/12, Marley Lion, an unarmed, white 17-year-old, was shot and killed by a 30-year-old black man in Charleston, South Carolina. We didn't hear about this. It depends on what the media and shi*t stirrers want you to hear.

There is injustice everywhere.

Strange Fruit really was a reference to the Negroes that were found hanging from trees because they were lynched. But, I do like your poem immensely and it is a good title for a bunch of uncivilized barbarians. I think I would like to read more about Florida as Scam Central for Medicare. It wasnt only Rick Scott and his hospital corporation that bilked millions from Medicare, it is many other who perpetrate these crimes now. Thanks to the Obama Admin many have been apprehended and prosecuted.

Been following this case across the pond. A young person has died and that is a tragedy, whatever the circumstances. Kids do go astray. They need help to put themselves back on track, not a bullet. Sorry folks, but I have very strong views about guns, but I guess that's because I've been brought up without them. Great topical write Tina.

You speak out when I had lost hope

of any way to avoid the slippery slope.

Reasoning and instincts blend into truth,

and the way the law works these days, proof

is assembled, contrived, or it vanishes entirely.

Thanks for your words today-they inspire me.

This poem just got better and your will more focused and powerful as I read. Good for you for being serious about something everyone else seems to be joking about.My guts are telling me this is a new tactic using reverse psychology to get America disarmed and compliant. NOT gonna happen.

Hanging Treyvons it seems. Chad's killer would have gotten the chair.

I guess the police told Zimmerman to stay away from Treyvon because he was a bad influence.

I hear Zimmerman is so scared to show his face he bought a dozen hoodies...

cool poem.
