I Can'T Breathe
The bystanders in agony watched
While pinned down, his life flushed.
Seemingly, with Tears caked eyes
He choked on his pain and cries.
Why Does the black skin invoke hatred?
Why Does racism seem elated?
Humanity cries for pardon
Which seems so gone.
My ancestors' blood built the railways.
My forefathers' tears caked the gateways
In a country my kin can't proudly call home
For in fear, they live like soldiers far from Rome.
Pinned down like a dog
Bystanders in dismay watched from the fog
As my brother's live gradually crept
As some in the crowd wept.
Black live matters
For without it my hope batters
Building a world where everything shatters
And no principle of man gathers.
With Pocketed arms he Choked Floyd
Unfazed,as Many exclaimed: "Oh Lord"
Indifferent to humanity calling for mercy
While thinking of his fantasy
My white brother in me sees a foe
Because I bare a colour to show
That though I may reflect different
But My heart defines me as magnificent.
A thousand voices cries for Justice
For Floyd as he lie graced in laces
Destined to laugh no more
His only crime, to lie on the floor.
As meek as a lamb, he was sacrificed
As innocent as Christ he was crucified
His voice tingling in my ear beneath
As he pleads "I can't breathe".
