N-Ebulous R-Ebellions A-Rticulated Poem by James B. Earley

N-Ebulous R-Ebellions A-Rticulated



N-ebulous R-ebellions A-rticulated

Not the Muslim concern
That's bothering me
Nor is it some bin Laden
Brand of anxiety

Nor Al-Qaeda at-large
...A credible threat
No foreign adversaries
Disturbing me yet

It's that twenty-nine percent
....Speaking in tongues
Talk of insurrection
...Bullets and guns

Seventy-one percent
The remaining population
..Sitting ducks..aligned
Awaiting annihilation

'Tis a troubling analysis
Indeed thought provoking
Second Amendment's angst
Dire message invoking

The very document where
Official sentiment is shown
'The right to bear
...Is the right to own'
*
*
So it's not individual status
..Nor financial condition
It's mandated principle
When confronting sedition

Get your asses to the armory
Bill OF Rights in hand
Birth certificate at the ready
...Collectively....demand


Author's Note: Three in 10 registered American voters believe an armed rebellion might be necessary in the next few years, according to the results of a staggering poll released Wednesday 1 May 2013 by Fairleigh Dickinson University’s PublicMind. The survey, aimed at measuring public attitudes toward gun issues, found that 29 percent (Sixty nine MILLION) of Americans agree with the statement, 'In the next few years, an armed revolution might be necessary in order to protect our liberties.”
