𝐆𝐮𝐧  𝐎𝐰𝐧𝐞𝐫  𝐑𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧  𝐀𝐫𝐭𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤

I’m being added to a list of crims,

Because I have some guns I seldom shoot.

As the faint flame of freedom flutters, dims,

I’m being added to a list of crims.

Perhaps I should get tattoos on my limbs —

A swastika — a goose-stepping jack-boot.

I’m being added to a list of crims,

Because I have some guns I seldom shoot.

— D.N. O’Brien
