Existential Threat 
By Joseph Powell

Breathe
I can’t
They won’t let me

Live
I can’t
They won’t let me

Be
I can’t
They won’t let me

Exist
I can’t
They won’t let me

Love
I can’t
They won’t let me

Run
I can’t
They won’t let me

Scream
I can’t
They won’t let me

Get angry
I can’t
They won’t let me

Protest
I can’t
They won’t let me

Die

I can’t

They won’t let me

Rest
In
Peace
