A Poem for Troy Anthony Davis by Eboni Joy
So far removed from your shoes
Your place in that unbearable space.
Waiting for that unmentionable day
My hands shake,
My heart breaks,
My light dims as days fade.
WAIT…
Wait…
wait…
This is surely no honorable fate,
To die, pre-determined, by another man’s decree –
A judge’s signature despite the pleas
Of innocence.
Makes no sense…
A blood lust lurks in those determined to save face

Original Interview in Italian and English can be found at http://www.hiphopreader.it/?p=87
