Trayvon

RIP

The prosecution couldn't prove it's case
The liberals want to make it about race
Pundits have different opinions to spout
in the media blitz post trial fallout
Eighty thousand experts have their say
So we're dazzled by the flying bullshit ballet
It's really just a tragic case of wanna be
by one tiny dick complex man's fantasy
Carry a weapon you don't know how to use
Instant bad a*s with offers you can't refuse
A weapon doesn't give you a set of balls
Just the one who makes the bodies fall
Once bullets fly you can't apologize
So let this be a word to the wise
The lesson learned is but a simple one
Never leave your house with a f*****g gun

Author's Note

For your consideration. The US is the world leader in weapons systems manufacturing including everything from Trident missile systems fully capable of launching a nuclear payload up Kim Jong un's Communist ass to the .22 caliber starter pistols they fire at the start of a foot race. Weapons manufacturing giants, like the fuel, gas and coal industry have a huge vested interest what sort of legislation gets passed on behalf of their interests and bottomless pockets to pay for whatever they want. Do you really think the US government would do anything to curtail that kind of financial power not to mention the political muscle the US has enjoyed abroad from the trade and sales of US made weapons systems. So go ahead and feel free to argue about second amendment rights while our government ease drops on the conversation.

I am never disturbed by martrydom, it shows an account for a young life lost and some adherence to the cause of an unnecessary death. Here in Detroit, there were 411 murders recorded in 2012 and well
over 2000 documented shootings. We (the civilized souls) know the race, the age and in most cases
the education level of not only the deceased but of those who pulled the trigger. Black male,
18-34, unemployed, less than high school education. So that should be all the information a city
or society might need to solve this murder problem right? We know the perpetrators, the victims,
the cause, the instruments used. Is murder a symptom or the desease? Are guns the instruments
or just the enzyme activator? In the 1920's we cornered the identical chemical behavior of atomic
masses and compared their isotopic, physical properties to differentiate between typhus and all
the other deseases of filth little kids stood in crying lines to get booster shots for. dana stood in
one of those lines. If desease can be controlled, then why cant murder be controlled? Gun sales,
both legal and illegal, are at an all time high. The powerful gun lobby could care less if TM is
killed in the streets or if you or I were. There is money, good money , to be made off the suffering
of poor folk. Or as you mentioned, upstart, non-comunist, prodemocratic nations. While it is
true that a Minuteman missel can seek out and destroy a nation anywhere on the earth, a simple
9mm hand gun is knocking people off, one sad sole at a time.

Thank you for your input rushin

Interesting write.........

[Baby Ricochet]

Thanks for stopping by

[Pryde Foltz]

I admire so much about this poem. It's truthful, strong, and unapologetically witty and raw. But below your undeniable bad a*s words is a smidgeon of empathy. Little more please. I don't know exactly what I am pushing for with you (maybe, not my place; so forgive my presumption) but I know it's in there. And I know its radiant. Still, the poem is brilliant. So, I should probably shut up.

[Baby Ricochet]

That's a great insight. Thank you Pryde. I appreciate your input.

[quinfinn]

no verdict was the right one in that case. you make a valid point. excellent write!

[Baby Ricochet]

Thank you quinfinn

[quinfinn]

[Baby Ricochet]

That's okay bro. I'll be here

[Mark]

Ya man. There is no commmon sense in politics, only corporate sponsorship gets anyhing done. Great work my friend.

[Baby Ricochet]

Thank you Mark

I like that you are blunt and to the point. This case is sad, but it happens all the time. I mean, I live in Los Angeles and I have seen somethings...If anyone is upset about the outcome of the case, they should be upset about the jury's decision... They are the ones that deemed him not guilty. And for that matter I do not think it was race related. He is just an egotistical a hole with narcissim, that has control and small weiner issues...The kid lost his life because this a hole went looking for trouble, for that, he should be stoned. But its just my opinion and I know its a touchy subject. Just remember what goes around comes around...Thanks for writing.

[Baby Ricochet]

Thank you Morgan. I appreciate your input.

[Phantom Heart]

Wow, I didn't realize how I sounded! :) I think I'm just over it being blown out of proportion. And Where I live people were protesting and for some reason they were lighting cars on fire and breaking windows to local businessnes... It's insane that these people think that destroying our cars and things will change the outcome. I think that's why I sounded so angry! I'm really not, I swear! :)

[Antoñyo]

I disagree...I think HERE is where you let it out. Places like this, just as writing is an outlet for some, sites like this should be where we vent...Not in the streets tearing up businesses.

[Phantom Heart]

Thanks and you're right about that. I don't see the point of damaging people's personal belongings when they had nothing to do with what happened. They should go burn down tax buildings. Hahahaha....

[Antoñyo]

Yeah, if ya wanna be productive, LOL! That's classic! AGREED!

[TL Boehm]

I agree. HERE is where we let it out because that is what writers do. and I also agree that what goes around comes around. At least that's how it works for me personally. every time i do something stupid - SMACK - I pay for it.

[Antoñyo]

Again I agree that what goes around comes around...and as for myself, I've learned that leaving the "comes around" part to a higher power keeps me from becoming what I despise.
...And plus those SMACKS are pretty darn painful at times!

[Seamstress]

Love this one!! So many don't see all of the lessons that can be learned from this incident and case. Your poem sets one out there right in front.

[Baby Ricochet]

Thank you Seamstress

[Mic]

Didn't have a dog in this fight, but just can't understand the uproar. Guess one could inject race into it, if that's what one's prone to do, but would definitely agree the law bafflling at times. Even more baffling is the DOJ spending millions under Obama's watch on this case to find....what? Guess it at least diverts a little attention away from them while they're supposedly investigating themselves. What a circus.

Good write, Ric. Idiots abound. Not sure how you legislate against stupid.

[Baby Ricochet]

That's for sure. Thank you mic

[Demetri J]

Written with a dangerous amount of common sense and social awareness. You have a talent for putting things bluntly, not to mention you have things to say that a lot of people don't want to hear nowadays. Keep writing, keep telling people the truth

[Baby Ricochet]

Thank you Demetri
