Please, please, please
I can’t breathe
My stomach hurts
My neck hurts
Everything hurts
Man, I can’t breathe
I can’t breathe
Imagine if:
George Floyd
Was your child
Your brother
Your father
Or, your friend
And the last words
Your child
Your brother
Your father
Or, your friend spoke
Were:
Please, please, please
I can’t breathe
My stomach hurts
My neck hurts
Everything hurts
Man, I can’t breathe
I can’t breathe
As a man’s knee was pressed against his neck
For eight minutes before his body went limp
And, your child
Your brother
Your father
Or, your friend
A human being
Died.
