The Death of Vincent Chin (c) 2004 Steven Mon It was supposed to be a night to celebrate his last days of bachelor freedom He didn't know then that a cruel twist of fate would bear his death with no sense of reason The air hung heavy at the Fancy Pants where Ebens and Nitz chafed at being laid off Their eyes stared past the stripper and her dance to Vincent Chin as their Japanese albatross What is a man's life worth these days? Three years probation and a fine? If justice is accorded by the look of your face how can justice be truly served if it isn't blind? Insults were traded on a false assumption slurs were followed by a punch to the chin A troubling indication of our dysfunction when blame is assigned due to the color of skin Someone intervened and the fight was over but Ebens and Nitz wouldn't leave it at that They chased Vincent Chin as he ran for cover and beat his head in with a baseball bat The Death of Vincent Chin demo (mp3) (4.1 megs) |
