Urgent Appeal

I cant breathe, an urgent appeal But still your knees are on my neck Pleas are ignored, my fate is sealed I cant breathe, an urgent appeal Death will result from this ordeal Is there a pulse?, too late to check I cant breathe, an urgent appeal But still your knees are on my neck

Hello Joseph May this is what happened to George Floyed today. I wa shocked! No one should go through this ordeal. The man did nothing wrong. The policeman got charged. Enjoy your evening my fiend.
