A POEM - TO REALLY KNOW A MAN

TO REALLY KNOW A MAN
To really know a man
You have to wrestle him
In the streets.
You have to shed
His blood and feel
What it’s like
To have your arm
Around his neck
Temporarily choking
Away his life
Likewise, you have
To have your face
Ground into the dirt
His weight pushing you down
You have to unite
In violence and anger
And in that way
You know your place
Amongst each other.
