Mark Koplin Poet Rhyme

Country Justice

Life out in the country has its own charm.
We have rifles and dogs out here on the farm.
Normal rules won’t apply if you choose to strike fear.
They won’t find your body, let’s just be clear.

We will see you coming from ten miles away.
Bring your violence out here and this is where you will stay.
We have plenty of ground on which we can dig.
We won’t call the cops and you won’t see a brig.

In the city with luck, you’ll just go to jail.
Out her you’ll be slop and end up in a pail.
We’ll feed you to the pigs or put you straight in the ground.
Either way my dear friend, you just won’t be around.

Out here I’m protected by God and my gun.
You know who we are and you know we won’t run.
We’ll sit up in a tree all day for one shot.
Even in the winter, you’ll wind up where it’s hot.

Tom Cunningham December 26, 2020 at 11:43 PM They never do it man to man, always in a cowardly way attacking those weaker than themselves., may they rot in hell. Tom Mark Koplin December 27, 2020 at 1:26 AM There is a very special homecoming waiting for these cowards. I hope you have a great weekend my friend!

Lindsay Laurie December 26, 2020 at 4:16 PM G’day Mark … country folk have so much to protect as well as themselves and family. Being judge, jury, and executioner on occasions there is no other choice. A poem with a clear warning - thanks Mark - Lindsay Mark Koplin December 27, 2020 at 1:25 AM When you are this far out in the middle of nowhere you have to handle things yourself most of the time. Most people know not to venture out here looking for trouble. Thanks for stopping by my friend!
