Malakh Penuel

they sat and watched them
thousands upon thousands
sum spoke that it was a thousand
60 times over.
one man would take a position
to have the other become opposistion to him
they would wrest until
the other wqs in the position of
peniel.
that he would submitt
and he who saw fit to understand
would say that one of opposition
has fallin and his new position causes him
to fault. then that he has faulted, a question from a manuaver of submission
ask him if he wish to continue in bout.
or he has been subdueded to have his shoulders held for conseutive amount of time as three seconds is represented by
an offecail slap of the canvas three times.
Peniel, Peniel, Peniel they chanted from the fan area, might
these chants inspire those they wish to win.
or might they anger those they wish to lose.
or might they support the effords of those who are in opposition of them.
those that give way to the wants of something collabrated and made to be.
