I CAN'T BREATHE
Sadness comes when a life is lost,
Someone must pay, regardless of cost
Prejudice shows with excessive force,
When anger overcomes and takes its course,.
Violent action, when none need be,
as police violate a life, yet not free.
They march the streets, their signs held high,
"I CAN'T BREATHE",
"I DON'T WANT TIO DIE"
This message clear, for all to see,
"WE ARE PEOPLE TOO, PLEASE SET US FREE"
Is ot my darker skin that makes you mad,
Given the same rights you felt you had.
Let me live, take my fear away,
So I can breathe each and every day.
So from off my neck please left your knee,
I came in peace as you could see.
Equal justice does not hold true,
Unless we all should look like you.
