The Zimmerman Frame

Zimmerman has been framed
On a charge of being white.
His photo has been changed
To make his skin look light.

He doesn't fit the narrative
The opportunists seek.
But with Photoshop against him,
His chances now look bleak.

The politicians gather
Like vultures drawn to meat.
If they can get momentum up
The white charge can't be beat.

His brown skin cannot save him.
They will say that black is white.
When they scent the money,
They don't care what's wrong or right.

They want to big themselves right up,
Get on the Oprah Winfrey show,
Pretend to be some kind of hero,
And make a lot of easy dough.
 
At the time of writing, Zimmerman has been found not guilty of murder, but race
 politicians are trying to get some kind of federal case up against him.
