Can'T Breathe Poem by Mimie Durand

Smog is everywhere cannot breathe
lungs wheeze
as they fight for air.

Choking one in its gas chamber of chemicals
and putrid smells
stars are smothered by dense clouds of toxins.

Air is not invisible, to breath deeply seems impossible
more smog to come-inevitable
moving silently like a feline stalking its prey.

Yearn for clean mountain air purified by the sun
stars will shine brightly
in the open blue skies.

Pray for air sweetened by roses
inviting one to breathe deeply
exhaling without restraint-
invisibly beautiful.
