I can't breathe
His knee is on my neck
Justice must be served
He's intentionally killing me
This is torture.

I'm a man with family
He also has family
But he doesn't even think how my family would feel if I die.
I'm slowly losing my breathe
He heard my last word
He felt my last breathe.

Being black mustn't invite death.
We're humans not animals
We don't deserve to be brutally killed for our happiness
For our success
And our smile.
Black lives also matter.
