Scattershot

Wrapped in plastic

Capped in brass

All it takes is a tap

To hear my blast

 

My mind eye

Like a shotgun’s spread

Wide, and devastating

My ***** like buckshot

Steel.

 

No words are left

To explain how I feel

But I do know this

That I will not yield

I will not kneel

 

I know not why I started fighting

But I know why I keep fighting

 

I may not be precise

I may not be new

I am of not the chosen few

But I can pay what is due

in the end my might will show through
