I Can’t Breathe
Images go by
Colorless-
White on black- black on white
I bow my head to pray
The images linger, stealing my words, muting my God thoughts
Monochrome Black White
One Color?
One kneels to kill
One prays to breathe
One laughs One dies
Beyond my eyes, chaotic silence
Dreary eddies overflow
Images Mister Leary would covet
Ten thousand shadows march over broken asphalt
Holding his name high, seeking justice for the oppressed one
Tears fall from faceless minions
Beyond my eyes, chaotic stillness
Darkness unfolds
Colorless fire and ebony clouds fill the night
Cities burn
Shattered glass flashes hues of black and white
Faceless faces scream
Stores looted Pockets filled
No one cries
They have forgotten why they came
Forsaking his memory for a new TV
I close my eyes
I can’t breathe
