He cried Mama

Please, Please, I cannot breathe,
I cannot breathe! Help me Mama!  Help me ! He cried
My neck hurts, my stomach hurts, everything hurts,  
Just some water or something, please, please!
Oh! Mama, Mama,  I can't!  
I can't  breathe! they're killing me!
On lookers  begged for his release, he can't breathe!  
As his nose bleeed
But their pleas brought no relief, their cries were denied as they looked on horrified  
The policeman continued kneeling feeling justified
I can't breathe mama, he cried terrified  
I can't breathe Mama his cries intensified
I can't breathe Mama, the policeman squeezed till he was  satisfied  
Help me Mama! he cried just before he died
Mama, Mama, he cried, Mama , the last words before he died
