The Bridge

Maybe we all need to die, then maybe there would be enough space for those left to see... the hurts and pains of generations past was for naught... Hate only breeds ugliness. I think the Bridge we built to cross that gap is burning, again. The Bridge (The Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman case will never be fully understood for years till we can look back and reflect over what happened. Space is what is needed so that others can step back and say "Oh, I see". Now, we are so close to it all we'll ever have is a short nose.)
