Religious Cowboy

If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also” (Matthew 5:38-39). They pulled my hair, twisted my ears, and pushed me down the aisle. They mocked me and spat at me, those three big bullies with guns! They called me names, insulted my religion and said my mother was a whore! I suffered it in stoic surrender, with Lords name on my lips! Then one of them kicked me hard, on the backside, closer to my left cheek, that is when I swung around, and shot the bastards through their heads! well, you know, I may have to explain, if some one kicks me on the left cheek, my gun with holster is on my right cheek! for those who kick me on the right, I carry a gun on my left too! Let God be with them! Written 21/10/2023 Miranda Hawley sponsored Pick a topic sentence Poetry Contest.
