Which knee angers you?
Which knee keeps you up at night?
The knee pressed into the ground
to elevate,
or
the knee pressed into a neck,
to suffocate?
Which knee angers you?
Which knee will cause you to speak?
The knee that promotes
humanity,
or
the knee that commits
atrocities?
Which knee angers you?
Which knee is a threat to you?
The knee that demands accountability,
or
the tool used in brutality?
Which knee angers you?
Which knee will cause you to act?
