and owning one in a nation
that sees liberty and freedom
as growing from the barrel of a gun
the trigger may well be your straitjacket
and the thing that makes you as near normal
as historic mass racism has ever let anyone be.
You don't believe me? Look at the conflation
of ideas of 'freedom' and the right to bear arms
in the present day United States of Amnesia
where the 2nd amendment is read out in public
and the masses cheer at the idea
of being being part of a militia
set up against the government they voted for
where there is no obvious means of reform
without defeat for political rivals
who can't retreat from positions
that they have adopted.
