I Can’t Breathe

by Jahari Walker

I can’t breathe, with the choke holds around my neck.
I can’t breathe,with my fellow brothers and sisters dying  every night, being killed one by one.
countless people gone every night 10, people 20,30,40,50 gone.
I can’t breathe, I can’t breathe.

I cant breathe with the air polluted with fighting and killing and curse words.
still this is the world I live in, I can’t breathe but nothing is changing.
The world keeps spinning the universe stays in place, but still I can’t breathe.
