I Cant Breath

I feel the choke under the yoke Of men so dehumanizing I feel the heel of their rugged boots... Choking the breath off me I feel the touch of their tough dark hearts Smearing at my restless me straining under their strain I can't breath I feel it like I were the helpless innocent God made dark coloured paralysed son of man Dehumanized by the so uncouth not so cultured, heartless sinners of ages. I can't breath Its not me without me in this island Didn't God create all of us in his own image.? Who issued the ticket in the thicket to a thicksome, gruesome, bad to the eyes a scene that God will never approve of? The thought of it, such a suffocating milestone.! I can't breath Who can breath? Who will breath? How do we breath? How shall we breath? Who has the answer? I can't breath!
