Rottweiler

"norms of hegemonic masculinities – toughness, strength, bravado – teach boys to exercise dominance through violent acts and rely upon violence as a form of communication”

a pub crawl at night

thick air dimmed lights

John pushed for a fight

Sam grinned

too long and tight

two dogs will start a fight

when trained for all their lives

till death the pack will brawl

as they pursue the alpha’s call

broken glass and bones

on a blood-soaked floor

by now five people down

all pleased

with this great night out

two dogs will start a fight

when trained for all their lives

till death the pack will brawl

as they pursue the alpha’s call

two dogs will start a fight

their notion is - might makes right

in rage so uncontrolled

good boys do what they’re told
