George Floyd, Tribute Poem

I can't breathe

The breath of injustice on my neck

The banks of justice, bankrupt

I can't breathe, my last cheque

In the land of my forefathers 

Laid their breath to build.

I can't breathe

Black lives doesn't matter to them 

Black lives matter to my people 

I breathe final justice

Derek the police breath of injustice

Who will arrest him? Who will take the system.

Democracy in theory for blacks 

Neo-slavery on the rise 

I can't breathe in land of the free 

White justice, filled cheque 

Black injustice, blank cheque

They rest in peace 

I rested in pieces, 

I use RIP no more, it's their symbol

I can't breathe ,I die tearful

My guardian brothers watched 

'Let him breathe!'

Another police officer ,the guardian of death guarded me to die 

My guardian sister shouted 

The police watched me die, standing guard

I can't breathe 'mama'

Handcuffed to be killed 

He can't fight physically

He kills using law of white justice 

I didn't kill ,but I was killed cowardly

They murder, but escorted to prison

They are guarded when they kill 

We are killed when we guard ourselves

I can't breathe outside my neighbourhood

Racism in the land of the free whites

The home of my black grave 

My last view of this world 

My brother and sister, guardian voices  

Armed with phones but still shoved away. 

The teardrop ,the blood will soak this land.

The earth vibrant with colours 

It devours my black brothers and sisters 

I can't breathe 'mama' the streets cries 

I asked for water to quench my thirst

The knee grip just like a lion kill 

Tighter when I tried to live once more 

I can't breathe

Stay well my black  brother's and sisters

Fight on lifetime, black is your lifeline 

Stay together, breathe peace

I rested in pieces

The last drop of my sweat 

Blood from my mouth

I can't breathe 

Joshua Boitt signs of this poem on behalf of George Floyd

I will fight brother Floyd.

I can breathe , Floyd didn't breathe 

I can fight the unjust system

I might not see the light 

Institutional racism awaits this poem 

Farewell George Floyd
