I Cant Breath

I cant breath Nothing surprises me Any more in a dying world Even when my last breath Means nothing to another man My spirit never panic cos It not strange When life means nothing To humans In our dying world I cant breath The call for help Is like just more or less An echo in the air Cos the hands to help Are withhold from reaching The world Evil lives more than goods Nowadays So in all honesty Nothing surprises me Not any more in a dying world Not even when my last breath Is taken away by force I cant breath Cos the knees Of the devil is on A force to my air The brutality I don't deserve Makes me more breathless In a dying world Is sad to see how my people Die like nothing I ask only when it could stop I ask Africa to demand It respect back from the world If not we still will Be dying same like Every other times like Floyd Dying in brutal act of hatred Destroyed by racism Chase away from home By tribalism Trapped in injustice Raped by the authorities And killed by the knees Of the one meant to protect Your right I wonder who cant breath In this kind of world

Nice to see you are still writing. Good to see you are taking on today. "My spirit never panic" - I feel chills tremble through my frame when reading this part.
