Love Wins - My Travon Martin Conclusion (Written by KD Bowe)

I haven't been able to express or put into words how I feel about the Trayvon Martin tragedy. Every time I try, the words never come. However, I read something that pretty much describes how I feel. This was written by KD Bowe.

 Love Wins… My Trayvon Martin Conclusion

 

 God always wins. There really is no comparison. God is also love, and since this is the case, love always wins. I have accepted this as my reality. I hate what happened to Trayvon Martin. I hate how the justice system is seemingly slanted against people of color and has been for decades. I cannot, however, have actions of hate because hate NEVER wins. Love does. Like many of you, once the verdict was read on Saturday, I reacted. I did some things and said some things out of my humanity. I won’t beat myself up for that because I’m human.

 

... The true essence of who I have chosen to be however is a man of God, therefore a man of love. If it is true that love wins, I right now divorce myself from feelings of entrapment, victimization, helplessness and defeat. True vindication comes from the fact that I will, in love, do my part to make a difference in my home and my community both locally and nationally. God (love) will handle the rest. When it’s all said and done, we don’t lose with love. Hate makes a disappointment look like the end. Love convinces us that the end is never the end unless we win.
