Video Clip of Innocence
For Matthew Shepard
PLAY:
Young boy braving a strong wind
against the open sky of the American
schoolyard. Fifth grade History class.
On his head a stovepipe hat,
black cape flapping, faux beard
The audio breaks, capturing the fragmented
line “…these dead cannot have died in vain.”
STOP.
He cannot be not Lincoln, but he is
Matthew.
Puberty and love gather on his horizon.
Today’s lesson is one of democracy.
To the West, someone is building a fence.
News Article:
NEW YORK, Feb. 14, 2008 - Ten years after Wyoming college student Matthew Shepard was brutally murdered because of his sexual orientation, a 15-year-old gay California student is brain dead after a student allegedly shot him because of his sexual orientation and gender expression.
