I Can't Breathe, a poem by Rabbi Sussman
I Can’t Breathe
I can’t breathe,
The knee of oppression
Is on my neck.
I can’t breathe,
The air of my city
Is filled with tear gas.
I can’t breathe,
I am filled with rage
And the smoke of burning buildings.
I can’t breathe
Because the air is filled with contempt for people of different colors.
I can’t breathe
Because my country is suffocating
And the air of democracy is getting thinner and thinner.
I can’t breathe
Because I am grieving for America
And praying its dreams aren’t dying
In the streets of our nation tonight.
