Armed and Dangerous

Courage measured in Caliber Steel courage with polished pearl handle Grip this fallacy falsley and create Havoc...........wreak the balance Cavalry calls... corpses collect in Calvary ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ bullets rain in pain, falls ghostly on the slain ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Reworked annunciation test to bring to light epidemic death to curse NRA rhetoric I detest Arm us, Arm them, Arm the children Harm us, Harm them, Harm the children These doctrines we refuse to evolve Tragedy calls and victims fall this travesty we refuse to solve Madness, manic brandishing panic seperate and fearing divided and leering We will never be one while Obsessed with the gun

Wow, this is very powerful and provocative. Great touches with the alliteration and (me thinks) assonance (sorry I've already forgotten most of the literary terms my teacher taught me, bear with me). Another brilliant poem....I really admire your style and the fluency with which you write. Can you teach me? love, Amy

I have Charlton Heston in my head when I was reading this piece. So much going on..the calvary...western jumps at me...I can see the evolution of guns from the start of our democracy until now and the destruction keeps on getting more and more..hope I made sense here brother. Great job and very creative.
