We Can Breathe !A Poem by Easter3 In the Aftermath of the Eric Garner Choke Hold Decision........ Don’t Bring Me down Don’t Hold Me down Don’t Choke Me down Forever Silence Me Instead When I stretch out My Hand To Grasp Yours In Extended Needed Trust And You stretch out Your Hand To Grasp Mine In Extended Needed Trust We Can Breathe ! When that Moment Of Extended Needed Trust Is Imbued with The Peaceful Dignity and Disciplines Of Attempted Understandings Eventual Empathy Open Ears Open Hearts Open Minds and Souls Actions of Compassion Equal Justice And Opportunities For All under the Law And Nurturing and Sustaining Bridge Building We Can Breathe ! We Can ! Breathe ! We Can Soar and Sing ! We Can ! Soar ! We Can ! Sing ! It All Begins and Ends With the Ability and Capacity To Breathe !
