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For nothing thy laws are repealed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
