We Can’t Breathe By:Astarea J. Wright Learn 8

 

We can’t breathe

when we are put in chokeholds

when we smell the smoke from cigarettes

 

We can’t breathe

when we think of Martin Luther King and what he did to change the world

when we think of young folks getting killed for no reason

when we think of people who tried to help the world

We can’t breathe

when love ones are shot and killed

when people are not doing anything about it

when we just laugh about it

 

We can’t breathe

when young ones are not thinking about the importance about the world

when people want to murder one another 

when we want to kill ourselves 

 

WE CAN’T BREATHE,WE CAN’T BREATHE,WE CAN’T BREATHE !!!
