Know What It's Like

Shaking with fear

A face awash with tears, I’ll shut me down into the gutter where it

Might be safest

Violence moves

In cycles until it stops with either peace or death of everything

It touches

You could be kind

Or benevolent but why when you know how the kids demand another

Public hanging

So stand underneath

A banner of belief and see how any cruelty will lend you

Gold and roses

Deafening cheers

And proselytising sound forth from a crowd who stands behind the man who

Is most dangerous

Joining the fray

You thought a little bloodsport wouldn’t hurt until you become the

One who’s hunted

I know what it’s like and I almost died

I know what it’s like and I almost died

I know what it’s like and I almost died

I know what it’s like and I almost died

I know what it’s like and I almost died

I know what it’s like and I almost died

I know what it’s like and I almost died

I know what it’s like
