You’d save a life they say<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

only wearing a piece of cloth everyday<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I can’t breathe, I’m suffocating<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The answer of a reaper debating<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I can’t breathe is not for you to say<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

two words born of man\u2019s desperation while fading away<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

a movement for the rights of your fellow man<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

like a wounded torn down creature begging for its release<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

They say we’re celebrating Eid,thanksgiving, and Christmas<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

it’s a rebellion, we’re fighting the system<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

we’re still young, fit as a fiddle<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The sheer callousness scarcely a riddle<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Thoughtfulness and human decency<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A thing we\u2019ve not seen recently<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Governments shouting the economy\u2019s first<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

what’s a human life if not a commodity?<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We buy, we bargain, we sell<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To any resemblance of decency, we bid farewell<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As we claw our way to say me, me, me<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Pray tell who else are we supposed to see<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Blood on their hands never washed away<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

the ruins in their wake mere child’s play<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Anguish and suffering simply untold<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A dark tapestry never to unfold<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
