Breathing in. Breating out

 

Breathing in. Breathing out

 

The woman teaching

Breathing in breathing out.

She said, my dear,

Life is so simple

Just …

Breathing in

And …

Breathing out.

 

I said, well

Breathing in has no problem

When the air is pure

But breathing out wouldn’t be so easy

When your lungs are darkened

Breathing the polluted air

Of injustice.

 

Life isn’t so simple

When you have to breath in

And can’t breath out
