2nd Amendment

March 21, 2013
I'm as white as the paint that adorns your walls, Or the sleek shiny porcelain upon new stalls. But that matters little when compared to my heart, Reasons of which I'd rather not start. Racism to me, is a cancer at least, Akin to a smelly, large ignorant beast. Unfortunately this poem is not about color, But rather something that's clearer than water. To sacrifice your FREEDOM in return for PROTECTION, Sounds like a man lost in false recollection. So to those who's safety and rights they shun, I say proudly: "You deserve neither one!" \
