You’d save a life they say
only wearing a piece of cloth everyday
I can’t breathe, I’m suffocating
The answer of a reaper debating
I can’t breathe is not for you to say
two words born of man’s desperation while fading away
a movement for the rights of your fellow man
like a wounded torn down creature begging for its release
They say we’re celebrating Eid,thanksgiving, and Christmas
it’s a rebellion, we’re fighting the system
we’re still young, fit as a fiddle
The sheer callousness scarcely a riddle
Thoughtfulness and human decency
A thing we’ve not seen recently
Governments shouting the economy’s first
what’s a human life if not a commodity?
We buy, we bargain, we sell
To any resemblance of decency, we bid farewell
As we claw our way to say me, me, me
Pray tell who else are we supposed to see
Blood on their hands never washed away
the ruins in their wake mere child’s play
Anguish and suffering simply untold
A dark tapestry never to unfold
