“I can’t breathe …. I can’t breathe” as my fellow brother continued to plead for his life, the arrogant monster continued to pollute his ignorance, his delusions on to my brother..to such a degree of unwavering stubbornness ……that he mercilessly clogged his free-willed lungs in complete confinement. He savagely continued to press on his unjustified madness by kneeling his tyranny forcefully onto his innocent soul, so hard that he drowned my blood brother in the pool of death, extinguishing his light of life from mother earth. As I got wind of such obscenity, I became weighed down by my own degradation. How can a fellow human being do such a thing to another human being? My chest was covered in an ocean of tears, my eyes blurred by the river of pain that could no longer be held back. It was as if someone stabbed me right in the back, it was as if someone ripped out my heart and tore it apart. My heart was and is in pain. I cannot sleep, I cannot think, I cannot ‘breathe’ till justice is served. “Dear Allah guide the ignorant and tyrants to the straight path, so that justice, kindness, and peace can be served, and if they are far beyond guidance then continue to protect the innocent souls oppressed by their barbarism, Ameen”. – Momna
