Slave (If I Had A Gun)

By Shane

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

If I had a gun I’d eat it, Swallow the bullets down If I had a drum I’d beat it, To the beat of the mindless clowns Marching to the beat of the clowns, Take their pills and swallow down The world in me is a world confused, I’m lost, I’m scared, misery is my muse If I had a gun, I would just shoot myself Fire at the marching clowns, and then me But no-one else If I had gun.
