Protecting the First Amendment?
Wednesday, August 19th, 2009
Taking assault rifles or a gun
To a town hall meeting may be fun.
For you that is (not everyone).
Just don’t tell me you’re protecting Amendment 1.
What you’re really trying to do
Is say Free Speech applies only to you
And those who believe as you want them to.
For others your weapon is a thinly-veiled threat
That if they don’t agree with you yet
They better soon or they’ll regret.
You carry that gun to intimidate
Those whose views you strongly hate
Their free speech to invalidate.
What you believe is a little hazy
But I’d never suggest that you are crazy
Because I don’t want to push up a daisy.
So forgive me if I’m a little alarmed
Democracy is not so strong it can’t be harmed
By those who in the battle of wits are otherwise
Unarmed.
