Suffocated

In this society
of masks and miasmas
we are allowing ourselves
to be suffocated
with pillows of power
and prejudice,
hardly hidden,
in the institutions
we thought would protect us all.
We have to do something.
We know we must do something.
So we put on our mask
carefully
to protect
ourselves.
We know
we are all
George Floyd
potentially
later or sooner.
And we know
we are all his killers
potentially
later or sooner
behind the mask.
