The Walls came Tumbling Down
In the heat of the moment
In the still of the night
So many things go wrong
The blink of an eye
I’m sure in after thought
You would have complied stat
Are you following him?
We don’t need you to do that
A moment of thought
Could have made this just a debate
Now it’s up to the courts
To decide your life’s fate
A sad turn of events
A trip to the store
A child’s life
Will live no more
Oh we have the memories
Those precious moments in time
When he was laughing and loving
Remembering how he did shine
Anger will not change
What happened that night
But he was just a child
Keep that in your sight
No matter what we hold onto
When we think of his time
Was he a trouble maker
Or an angel of our mind
He was a child of God
He was created by Him
His life was ended
Due to a human’s whim
Why don’t we ask questions
Before acting it out
Oh the tragic results
When this comes about
Trayvon had a message
Even with his death
Even if it was only found
Upon taking his last breath
The message is clear
I hope we all one day can see
We are all important
Even someone like me
Someone who is loved by their parents
Someone who had a beautiful smile
Someone who, yes, was human
And got in trouble once in a while
Someone who had a future
Could have fallen in love
Was someone you could count on
When push came to shove
My race didn’t make me better
But God knows didn’t make me worse
But a decision made in haste showed
You acted before thinking first
I hope you one day understand
What really came about
Because there are parents now
Who are living without
I pray God will show us
The way to heal hearts broken
Before more angry actions are taken
While less words are spoken
For one thing is definite
Death cannot be undone
And grief is a morbid battle
Never can be won
So, Lord if you’re listening
As I write this down
Show us your grace before
The walls come tumbling down
