I Can'T Breathe

Whisper chases the wind
Along with your eyes that caress my skin
Inch by inches you tore me by the look of a sin
Blanket me with your silly paradigm scheme

Silenced by the judgement of color
You kneed my pride down under your power
No excuses, no chance to stand for an honor
For the plead has turned to sour

One soul has lost infront of the shutter's lens
Million eyes blazed over your mind's dense
Bladed words soar amid the clouds
Voicing the tearing hearts in the aisles of crowds

You take every breath that I breathe
Universe returns every pieces that shatter underneath
Unable to hide behind your own justice
Let the truth sit atop of its own prejudice

Excellent poem, Yanny. I was so struck by the words, "Silenced by the judgement of color / You kneed my pride down under your power". You made a lot of good points, thank you for allowing me to learn and grow from reading your message. ~ John
