Tag Archives: machinations of killers

For Troy Davis

I hope you are
in a place 
where there is justice,

where there is love
unconditionally,
the end,

where young men
no longer are lynched
by ropes,
or the machinations of killers,

where there is light
and not the suffocating,
ethered mud,

a place where you will
rise above humanness.

I hope you are in a place
called Justice,
a place that will never be named
Georgia.
