At the sharp end - inner city life



STARTING
at the point
the sharp end
the emotions rule
fear
or
thrill
or 
power

Those emotions
fast down to end of the hand
fast down to the tip of the knife

The puncturing
the gasp
the blood
the legs collapsing 
the blood
the gasping of last breaths
the pain
out of one life robbed
to a family
to friends
to a community

pointless from the point of a knife.
