Can’t Breathe

We are being suffocated

in this society

of masks and

miasmas,

of family connections 

and corporate interests

smothering us

with hidden pillows of power

and corruption, 

of prejudice

hardly hidden

in institutions

we thought would protect us all.

We are all George Floyd

potentially

behind the mask.
