Vacant Spaces – A song for Trayvon Martin (video tribute)
Hello. After my last post and the continuing protests and discussions about the case, I have been continuing my reflections on Trayvon’s death. I was compelled to write a song (as I usually am when I’m feeling something so strongly). A friend of mine, a poet from Rockford, IL, named Christopher D. Sims, wrote a spoken word piece about it as well and we decided to combine them into one. I also enlisted the help of my son, whom I mentioned in that last post as well, in the making of a video for the song. The lyrics are included in the description on Youtube….here it is:
