I can't breathe!!
(I, George Floyd,a 46 years old African-American man from Minnesota in USA.I am a victim of racism,let me share that incident!!) I am a citizen of the 'greatest' country of all,USA by birth.. I have no idea there is still existing racism in 2020 in this earth!! My origin is African but I am an American by heart.. I was stunned when he hit me and I was badly hurt!! Let me tell you the whole incident,I had gone through.. So, this kind of disaster never happen again to any of you!! I am a truck driver,I have five children to feed.. I just want to be paid minimal wage,that's all I ever need!! I still remember the day it's 25th of may.. I can't say anything but I will have to say!! I was trying to pay a twenty dollar bill.. The owner called the police cause he thought it's counterfeit,I was standing still! The police came ,I said them I have no idea officer,I didn't know it's fake.. That white police officer didn't listen he asked where did these I make?? I was shocked, please I haven't done anything wrong.. He said,shut up nigger, everyone of you sings the same song!! He handcuffed me forcefully and laid me on the ground! There were three more of them watching me by moving around.. Suddenly he knelt on my neck and pressed as hard he could.. I pleaded him to leave me,but he was very rude!! I said you blocked my carrotid artery, 'I CAN'T BREATHE' anymore!! He didn't gave me a shit, they didn't stop him,they all four!! I heard people standing there begging him to leave me.. After some minutes, he muttered in my ear,in the jail,there will be only he!! They took me in the custody charging me as a con-man.. I couldn't stand properly there, they through me inside the van!! I didn't realize what happened next,it was all blurry in front of my eyes.. The last thing I hear that he was shouting fuck, how could he die?? (The forensic later declared it as homicide and the reason is asphyxia, a condition where tissue die due to lack of oxygen..) Disclaimer: It's not a poem against white people or for just black people. In 2020, still people facing this issue really hurts me.. Always remember,'Every Life Matters'..This is a proof we all should be together..

Тени собственного сердца ...
Глубокой ночью в тишине , Как млечные пути горели свечи Их огонек горел во тьме Скрывая тайны сердца человечьи Тенями прошлого унося яркий свет, На языке горело пламя вспоминания Из памяти оствавив только след Потухших пепла чувств одного созерцания .. И лишь полны отчаяния глаза Остались морем слёзного раскаяния .. Об том ,что не забудешь некогда Ошибки сделанных ,когда то лишь случайностью ... Прекрасных звёзд на небе уголков, Когда хотелось быть ранимым Сломать себя от бури горечи долгов, Которых прятал от своих любимых И каждый вздох ,что вдруг не смог, Раскрыть все страхи угнетения В тени ночей под всхлип с дождём Укрыв опять себя жалким замком мгновения. 🎶🎧🎶 💫Demons ~Alec Benjamin 🖤

Тишина ночного неба
Полный город одиноких улиц И фонарики вокруг в глазах горят В темноте стен полыхает ветер молча , Сцены шелеста теней играя без конца ... Мнимость разных звёзд по небу Освещает путь ко царству сна Тем , кто в глубине ночи не встретил , Свой покой без тучь мыслей сполна ... Тишиной ночного насладиться неба , Рано или поздно станет легче слов ... Без ответов улетят запреты Давних чувств и всех тревог Звук сверчков дополнит кредом Пейзаж сердца споведь звёзд , Лишь о том , что дни болело От полных будней забот
