The Gun

by Vviivviiaannzz

They will not take my gun. Get me their guns. I have a right to my property. They have a duty to obey us. It is my responsibility to stand for what I believe in. It is our responsibility to make them submit. I hate them. They will love us. I say, break the law! Do they dare go against us? I petition; I riot; I will not go down without a fight! We beat; We arrest; We will not lose this fight! Alas, I am the only one left. One insubordinate citizen remains. I fire my gun for my freedom. I fire my gun for our respect. My only defense clatters to the ground. I knock the gun out of his traitorous grip. I fear what they will do to my family and me. It is much safer to be feared than loved. I take one last act to retrieve what is rightfully mine. I take one last act to retrieve what is lawfully ours. Then we both reach for the gun. Then we both reach for the gun.

Notes

In no way taking a side; simply expressing different views in the best way I know how. Through the art of poetry.
