i can't breathe
Location
*for mr. eric garner-tribute/reenactment
officer,
i'm just selling cigarettes, it's not weed, it's not guns
you're in my face
my hands is up, i'm unarmed
blindside attack of hands wrapping around my neck
because i'm a threat
what you see is that i'm a big guy
was it necessary to be jumped by other cops and wrestle me down?
you're choking me
the pressure was applied with brute force
slowly you soothe away the life of me
i'm gasping for air
screaming i can't breathe
i can't breathe
my head was forcefully pressed at the ground sideways
out of disgust that you refuse to even look at me
it didn't matter at that time
didn't matter that my rights were violated
my humanity is non-existent to you
all because i was outnumbered
surrounded by a bunch of bullies who are suppose to protect the community from the bad guys
the cops have become the bad guys, how can anyone feel safe
NYPD is suppose to represent CPR
they indeed honor CPR that stands for Corporal Punishment Recklessly
before i forget, NYPD is an acronym for New York Pigs Department
i'm sure you feel proud that i die in front of your hateful eyes, and scornful soul
you feel like a big man that you weren't indicted
my legacy will continue to fight as we , the people of New York protest and stand up to the judicial system that continues to fail us once again
we, the people are standing to the corruption of U.S. Government
the same way Oscar Lopez Rivera, a proud puerto rican, a political prisoner had the testicular fortitude to dethrone the U.S Goverment and is now serving 33 years, and counting for a crime he never committed
all he did was honor the 1st amendment-the freedom of speech
the freedom of expression seems like a crime when one disagrees and expresses with conviction the importance of equality
as i spiritually reach my hand to you, you reach your hand to me
the only thing that comes in between is a glass window in jail
it doesn't stop that bond
it doesn't stop that strength to unite as one and fight back the prejudice that have everyone frighten
not all cops are bias
not all men of color are criminals
we have to end the ongoing police brutality saga that divide and conquers the people and police officers
cops are infatuated in believing that they are above the law
that's not true, the only one that is above all else is god
god is the juror, the prosecuter, and the executioner
his justice is about jurisdiction, his word is law
and even that , his own worst enemies, he forgives
when appearing in the courtroom, and see the sign that states, in god we trust
i always trust god because of what's in the good bible
but never in hands of people in uniform because they disgracefully dishonor the good lord's name by using his shield to protect the layers of lies and corruption of not serving justice objectively
you claim to be authoritative when all you do is empower your tyranny in abusing people because you intimidate them with a title that was never given to you
when you don't respect, recognize, and submit your authority to god
the greed in the empire that you built will all crumble the minute you divorce yourself from god's law
when you forget that god created the heaven and natural world
and you have the nerve to have people stand up and pledge the legions
i'll stand up and pledge with my middle finger raising loud and proud when i say
i pledge the legions
to the flag of this place we call america
and to the republic
for which i rather sit
one nation, one god
we unite as one
and give us all the liberty and justice that will prevail for all
