One Shot... A New World Poem by Dillon Gay

There is one law in this land
But it can be destroyed easily like a castle in sand
Just one man it takes
And a whole new world awaits

You know what I'm talking about, right?
The totalitarian government's leader was in sniper's sight
A small group of resistance was against this man
If the sniper missed, they would have all ran

The one law was no harsh words of the leader
But the resistance would rather drink rotten apple cider
As the sniper was ready for the shot
He froze like a diffused robot

What had happened? What will he do?
But the smart dictator already knew he would die, too
When the sniper blew out the leader's educated brains
Blood spouted out of the sniper's chest in a bloody rain

Perspective: A group overthrowing totalitarian government
