there is a reason
why we feel the pain
of every person we lost
every punch we gave
every insult we spoke
for our entire lives

many do not realize
that nelson mandela is great
not for ending apartheid
but for ending apartheid
peacefully.

not being violent
was his ultimate fuck you
to the oppressors
who were to dumb
to understand his insult.

i would not like
to have my penis cut off
by a cigar cutter
to fall face down and
break my teeth on a rock
to insult someone so much
that they never speak to me again
to have lumbal punction
or to burry my children
while dying of
a very painful cancer
while my wife is cheating
on me with my best friend
who owes me money
