I CAN'T BREATHE


I can’t breathe ... can you?

I see Mohan Lal in George Floyd ... do you?
I see Arvina Khatun in Breanna Taylor... do you?
I see casteism in racism ... do you?
I see “goli maro saalon ko” in “looting.. shooting”
I see Kashmir in Minneapolis
I am yet to be woke...

Lives matter... They matter to me on the road
They matter to me on the rail tracks
Yet I don’t leave my suburban peace
Yet I don’t go back and fight for a cause...

I can’t breathe ... can you?
