Toting Guns

TOTING GUNS There is something Visceral About a gun Urban Fright In the dead of night Sends panic through the Wayward driver Working too late On the edgy side of town where black of night ignites drug life & drive by shootings safety vanishes with cutbacks forcing cops to battle paperwork instead of crime dealing soljas flash hardware black looks behind black shades flash hate upon hate take A bite of barbed wire to taste this danger But the walther ppk --One in the chamber-- Safely tucked Under the seat A Shot of courage Tames the fear like wild dogs-- turns a pit bull into a mouse
