Suffocation

With decades – no, centuries – of prejudice, they couldn't breathe
With offensive speeches from Powell to Johnson, they couldn't breathe
With oppressive Conservative hostile environment, they couldn't breathe
With combustible Grenfell cladding, tragically they couldn't breathe
With human civil rights and basic equality denied, they couldn't breathe
With 'low status' jobs and genetic ethnicity, in Covid intensive care units,
They couldn't breathe...
Inequality kills, I can't breathe.
