Behind the cracked window pane,
I saw him.
Barely noticeable.
Trying to surface.
His eyes
filled with fear.
The smell of pain
all around him.
The unmistakable sound
of silence everywhere.
The taste of injustice
overwhelming him.
The dirt of racism
touching him.
Breathe, Boy, Breathe.
What torments you?
"LIVES.
BLACK LIVES.
THEY MATTER??"
Behind the cracked window pane,
I saw him. Again.
Noticeable now.
Keen to surface.
His eyes
filled with hope.
The smell of courage
all around him.
The unmistakable sound
of justice everywhere.
The taste of equality
uplifting him.
The beauty of unity
touching him.
Breathe, Boy, Breathe.
What inspires you?
"LIVES.
BLACK LIVES.
THEY MATTER!"
wishing you all unconditional love & blessings,
Rimmi
