I Can't Breathe..
(I, George Floyd, a 46 years old African-American man from state of Minnesota in USA.I was a victim of racism,let me share that incident with you!!)
I was a citizen of the 'greatest' country of all,USA by birth..
I had no idea that there is still existing racism in 2020 in this freaking earth!!
My origin was African but I was an American by heart..
I was stunned when he hit me and I was badly hurt!!
Let me tell you the whole incident,I had gone through..
So, this kind of disaster never happen again to any of you!!
I was a truck driver,I had five children to feed..
I just wanted to be paid the minimal wage,that's all I ever needed, yes indeed!!
I still remember the day, that was 25th of may..
I can't say anything more but I will have to say!!
I was trying to pay a twenty dollar bill..
The owner called the police cause he thought it was a counterfeit and I was standing still!
The police came, I said them I have no idea officer,I didn't know it was fake..
That white police officer didn't listen,he simply asked where did these all I make??
I was shocked and said,please I haven't done anything wrong..
He said,shut up nigger, everyone of you sings the same song!!
He handcuffed me forcefully and laid me on the ground!
There were three more of them watching me by moving around..
Suddenly he knelt on my neck and pressed as hard he possibly could..
I pleaded him to leave me but he was very rude!!
I said you are blocking my carrotid artery, 'I CAN'T BREATHE' anymore!!
He didn't gave me a shit, they didn't stop him,they stood still, all four!!
I heard people standing there begging him to leave me..
After some minutes, he muttered in my ear,in the jail,there will be only he!!
They took me in the custody charging me as a con-man..
I couldn't stand properly there, they through me inside the van!!
I didn't realize what happened next, it was all blurry in front of my eye..
The last thing I hear that he was shouting Fuck! how could he that easily die??
(The forensic later declared it as homicide and the reason is asphyxia, a condition where tissue die due to lack of oxygen..)
Disclaimer: It's not a poem against white people or for just black people. In 2020, still people facing this issue really hurts me.. Always remember,'Every Life Matters'..This is a proof why we all should be together..
poem idea- @poetic_parade . I saw her poem on it and thought to write about it..do check out her also..
let me know your thoughts in the comments..it will mean a lot to me..
