TO BREATHE OR NOT TO BREATHE

A nursing sister in ICU walks desperately from bed to bed,
Can you breathe my dear she fist asks Val, then Ted,
They look at her with fear of death in their eyes,
Struggling to breathe, Val says my family, tell them, but she dies!

Doctors and nurses are trying their best to save lives,
To help patients breathe as their heaving chest tries,
Ted is nearing his end, the sister holds his trembling hand,
Tell them I love them, the pain he can no longer stand!

Nursing staff round the world, bewildered, have tried hard,
This unseen enemy has intense power, it holds the jokers card,
Daily they hear people saying ‘Please help, I can’t breathe’,
Helpless, hopeless families cannot on their grave place a wreath!

Hospitals help people breathe, yet others constrict breathing,
Floyd known as a gentle giant 6’ 6” tall, had done prison confining,
For 5 years, convicted in 2009, but left all his past life behind
And worked in several places where he was always well liked.

A teenager phoned the police to say he was given a forged $20-00 note,
They arrived, forced Floyd to the ground, put a knee on his throat,
I can’t breathe he kept saying, called for his mom, for over eight minutes
They were indifferently stopping his breathing, they surpassed all limits.

Black people say they are targeted around the world, protesting, riots,
A Presidents answer was to bring out the army, he tried to quiet
The masses, but the people got angry and showed their rage
Pandora’s  box opened, a new era in History is about to stage!
