By “I can’t breathe.”
Chained and pinned
under a man’s weight.
“I can’t breathe.”
The pressure like a boulder-
suffocating
hate filled
violent
murder
“I can’t breathe.”
His words
we hear their truth
yet not all hearts are moved
“I can’t breathe.”
His soul has left us
and taken with it humanity’s
“I can’t breathe.”
“I can’t breathe.”
“I can’t breathe.”
Our brothers and sisters
are not safe
what will you do
to cease this hate?
