It is difficult to get the news from poems yet men die miserably every day for lack of what is found there. --- William Carlos Williams

Cage Fight


Boys' fight in cage 'very barbaric' 
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-lancashire-15015790?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

Waif-like boys,
Slender and slight,

Fight for supremacy in a metal cage
Filled with rage,

As drunken men cheer
Chant and jeer.

Vulnerable boys
Gnash their teeth,
Pray for relief.
