I Can'T Breathe

The last of me is drowning deep in agony 
A packaged denied arrest paints a felony 
Isn't it crazily funny?
We live together in harmony 

Whereas urgent attention couldn't rescue the saga
From this skillful kneel aga
Whose Morales go gaga
And on my neck built the ancient Braga

I can't breathe; the gods are near at reach 
"Welcome home" is the sermon they preach 
What if I have bleached?
May be they could have listened while I beseech.

I don't want to let go of this in precious denial
Together we once trade the temple's aisle 
And for them, i've abandoned my lisle 
After all, it turns out to be a mistrial 

 Anxiety engulfed my inner humble thought that solemnly swears 
How blindly I have long  errs!
Everyone is good for another pairs 
But of a truth, the world despairs 

Depression curse hangs over waiting others' course 
To savage more lives we will still endorse 
Cos we are afraid to attack the source 
Aren't we capable of their divorce? 

Miss you dearly mum in my cold-blooded breathe 
How lonely you have to seethe! 
The world recorded new murder style to sheathe 
Panting like babies stooling to teethe

Worry of me if we are equal and okay
But the love you taught you betray 
If religion doesn't lead people astray, 
What could have racism conveyed? 

Just because my needs are in your field
For nothing thy laws are repealed 
Yet other countries see it well wield 
Where chance is given not be appealed 
 
Sometimes I thought religion had healed the world 
But people practicing keep hurling 
And the goods refuse to be unfurled 
Meanwhile, with pleasure, we keep whirling 

You brought it for peace 
And tease us off our gods' guards 
It would be worse that breath cease for love in guise 
The love of which thy land egocentrically bombards 

Fear is draining down the throat and my teeth clasp
This would not be more dangerous than the asp
And to my final gasp
Is for you a hopeful promotional handclasp
