Analysis of Wipe Him Out!



I cross his name out
Erased
A gangster’s mark
To wipe him out
Waste him,
Kill him
Away
He is my antagonist
Competitor, nemesis
Danger
It’s either him
Or me
The blood runs deep
I cross out
His name
That’s the dead end.
No remorse.
Your laundry list of things for me to do
is meaningful, excessive and 10 years too late
