I can’t breathe

David Wakeling

Minneapolis is in darkness,
The Devil fires are burning.
I see you Momma in the distant light.
I will try to come to you.

I can’t breathe,
I can’t breathe,
Oh God Almighty.
I can’t breathe.

    How terrifying a situation is this. Fear and panic setting in. The scenario plays out in vivid imagery. Well done David.

    I'm supposedly
    A cop
    I and my "colleagues"
    Let me
    Be filmed openly
    Committing an atrocity
    Knowing full well
    On social media
    It would be posted
    And my police buddies and innocent citizens
    Would be toasted
    In riots
    Go figure

      American cops watch too much television so they have no accountability.Thanks for commenting

        What if it's so much more than that? (as I was hinting at beforehand.) Thanks for your reply.
