'Stephen Lawrence' by Carol Ann Duffy

  • Written by the poet laureate after the conviction of two men for the teenager's murder in 1993
    C - guardian.co.uk,
Cold pavement indeed
the night you died,
murdered;
but the airborne drop of blood
from your wound
was a seed
your mother sewed
into hard ground –
your life's length doubled,
unlived, stilled,
till one flower, thorned,
bloomed
in her hand,
love's just blade.

    Yeah.

    And a book has been released for kids about his life to inspire teens through that medium too.
