2a
The world cheered Ukraine;
They fought an aggressor.
David and Goliath,
An evil oppressor.
They took up their arms
In a right and just cause.
For us, this bears out
2A’s opening clause.
And no, my dear child,
Don’t confuse ‘regulated.’
‘Functioning properly’
Could also be stated.
A free state is one
Where its people are free:
Free from aggression,
And from tyranny.
Sometimes this takes
The shape of Putin,
But sometimes tyranny
Comes from within.
See our founders first saw
Themselves under the crown,
But the king piled injustice,
And things all spiraled down.
They rallied together;
They all took up arms.
They fought for their freedom,
For family, for farms.
Thank God they had rifles
And weapons of war;
They broke free of England,
Were subjects no more.
Uvalde’s a horror;
We must look deep within:
The land of the free
Juxtaposed against sin.
Sin’s a quaint little concept
Most will choose to ignore,
But there’s evil within us
All the way to the core.
The child, widow, orphan
we’re called to protect
Will all die beside us
If 2A is wrecked.
We must put down aggressors
Both lone wolves and the State.
For that’s how the founders
Made America great.
No, I can’t afford aircraft
And I can’t afford tanks,
But I’ve got an AR
And I’m keeping it, thanks.
