Pink Pistols

The Jihadi’s got an entire hour to kill Hundreds of helpless patrons shocked and awed An eon of murderous rage until The long awaited reward from his “god” Like schools, this Orlando bar predictably Missing the one thing mass shootings lack It’s no longer much of a gallery When the intended sitting ducks shoot back Ideology of disarmament To some people, a feather in their caps Yet it's to your eternal detriment If mind-bending hatred falls in your laps Hamstrung by their protocols, by and large Officers stuck on perimeter, of course No matter how they may want to charge They are the police, not Delta Force For a solution, this nation divided Starkly different views on reality The most effective measure derided In its place, a plea to authority When it goes down like this in disarmed France To me it’s just as clear as a crystal If innocent lives are to have a chance Hear the message of the Pink Pistols Brave by any measure to come out twice First gay, then pro armed defense Their deepest truths, no human price Unwilling to appease or ride the fence Helplessness has never stopped a rampage There’s no reason to think it ever will Only equal force can stop the carnage When evil men have decided to kill 6/13/16 © Thomas W.
