RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: ON TYRANNY
Paramilitary Control
The second amendment is a dangerous right
In the hands of hoodlums and mobs
It heightens tension in any fight
And makes policing a difficult job
Gun advocates generally like to ignore
That important note on regulation
They carry guns in church and stores
Making ours a most volatile nation
We cannot survive with runaway mobs
Armed with weapons of mass destruction
Ask your local police department
If you need further instruction
When the right to bear arms is out of control
We must demand reasonable restraint
For mobs with rage and guns in hand
Cannot be trusted as if they were saints
(Inspired by Timothy Snyder's On Tyranny)
