I Can’t Breathe
I can’t breathe
Politics is sucking the life out of me.
I can’t breathe
I can’t believe the propaganda and lies
I can’t breathe
My eyes can’t believe what they see.
I can’t breathe
Waiting for the truth to crystallise
I can’t breathe
They are all playing a nasty game
I can’t breathe
Riding on their gravy train
I can’t breathe
Endless journey to wealth and fame
I can’t breathe
Kicking lives down the drain
I can’t breathe
I can’t breathe
I can’t breathe
Opher – 2.6.2020
As George Floyd was murdered in front of our eyes we are surely forced to confront the system we have created.
Once we lived freely as hunter-gatherers, in harmony with the land, at peace, with no leaders, no government. Then we invented agriculture, leaders, politics, cities, and bred in huge numbers to encompass the globe.
What a sad mess we’ve made of things.
The gross inequality, racism, corruption and violence we’ve created.
It’s smothering me. I can’t breathe.
