Urgent Appeal

I cant breathe, an urgent appeal
 But still your knees are on my neck
 Pleas are ignored, my fate is sealed
 I cant breathe, an urgent appeal
 Death will result from this ordeal
 Is there a pulse?, too late to check
 I cant breathe, an urgent appeal
 But still your knees are on my neck

Life can be so harsh, even when giving it your all. Poignant and profound!
