You can't have guns,
He said,
As he held a Glock,
To my head.

You can't wield a sword,
He said,
With a blade,
To my neck.

We can have weapons,
We can have power,
We can have all the things,
That we deny to you.

We are oppressive,
We are dictators,
While we command you,
To obey democracy.

All men are created equal,
He said,
Looking down at me.
All men are equal,
But some are,
More equal than others.
