After the Verdict (For Trayvon)

My son, please don't go out tonight. There are monsters out there stalking the earth. Not the ones in fairy tales I'd read to you since your birth with heroes who protect and defend what is right, these monsters won't stop until they're sure of your death.
My son, please don't go out tonight. I wouldn't be scared if you were white. For the stories I told you weren't exactly the truth, They never really answered, "What are Black lives worth?" My son, please don't go out tonight.
