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
