Taylor Erxleben Poet Free verse

I Cant Breathe

Good morning
Hood morning
Never a good morning in the hood but let's discuss the mourning.
Im talking tear shed cross on a sidestreet, oh he knows
Black boy knows
Black boy morns
Black boy says good morning to his mommy before he leaves for school
Black boy walks, walking dead
Black boy freeze
Black boy hands up
Black boy stop resisting, unarmed black boy
Knee on the neck of the community
Mama cryin black boy, begging please black boy
I can't breathe
I can't breathe
I Cant breathe
Good morning america
Hood morning america 
DO YOU HEAR US NOW AMERICA
Sing the song black boy
Let fire reign from your voice black boy
Burn the path for the next black boy
Good morning.NOTHINGS CHANGED.
