Anothers body morgued, alack

another timeless multiple attack

flies the buzzards about

adorned now with constutional screeds

circling circling

where love lies again bleeding.

Guns hankering to be fired

with a buyers mad greed

have gun will travel

and die for your country’s

dire constitutionality

sweet chicken feed!

A brochure of bullets

raving for grace

merry a poster

of this obscene weapons race

ban the 2nd –

with John Browns face!

My country my country

is a loving slave to blood

sweet reigns of caskets

draped in horrors of love

wrapped in pride for the dead

guns saved us from tyranny

with this freedom we bled.

Proof of our ardor

horde tight to your guns!

romancing the hunger games

what have we won?

tears for this honor

tears we all share!

weep for tomorrow —

Alack for a freedom

with which nothing compares.
