Rifles

Wishing i could make you love you enough

to carry you instead of rifles

as if it’s really an equation
you are me we are they
bullet play

I used to think they were the same thing

any means necessary, last day obituary brothers

there’s petty crime on the front lines

and blood in my eyes cause i can’t define the finished line

we post lookout on your shoulders
our strategies in tact

police boast as if it’s all over, but our

strategies in tact . . .[meanwhile] we’re tripping over

trophies posed as terrorist attacks.

~Yvonne Gilmore, Rifles

Some runner's up:

..one for whom bread is not enough.

Well, where are they coming back from?

They teachin you how to be a man? ...How to take over and run this world boy?

[ Beneatha is AWAKE ]

...so this is what the new world hath wrought.

Lorraine a damn mind.
