I want my brother to breathe,
Dear officer, and neighbors
Please let my brother breathe!!!
Please let him walk to the store and get candy.
And let him breathe!!!!
Please let him jog…
And let him breathe!!!!
Please let him drive a car
Let him breathe!!!!!
Dear officer and neighbors,
My brother has autism so he sometimes
laughs when things aren’t funny, or he may run
if he is scared.
Please let him breathe!!!!
My brother is Black, he is not scary.
SO PLEASE LET HIM BREATHE!!!!!!!!!!!
