In memoriam of the freedom fighters

Dumafis Lafontan

Amid the despair
Market crashing
Opioid crisis
Child poverty
Domestic violence
White supremacy
Racism and
Other schisms
I can’t breathe

Yet, social change is happening
Unseen to the one eye
Djaal and
Tight draw
Teeth grinding
Joker
Laughing off
I can’t breathe

It is as if people exist to suffer
Constantly in pain
While anguishing
Over human condition
The hard knocks
Bloody air strikes
Deadly chokehold
I can’t breathe

On this tightrope of existence
Even without the trenches
The struggle is real
I can’t breathe
