Poem #20

Pistol Packing Pete
Had a brother from
Another mother who
Also went down in
Defeat
His situation was rather
Unique because he
Was a 2nd amendment
Freak
So
When he died the
Truth could not
Be denied
When the facts
Were properly
Applied
There was no
Place he could hide
No refuge to seek
As his beliefs
Will also give him
Grief
So Shotgun Saul
Name got changed
When his plans were
Rearranged
As he was struck down
To the ground
While traveling
On the road to
D C. by way of
Damascus
Unmasking
His truth
Revealing
His true feeling
So Shotgun Saul
Name changed
To Pistol Packing Paul
Who still had plans
To answer the call
To storm Capital Hill
Because the leader
Doesn't believe that
The will of the people
Was served in the
Election
So under his direction
He had his supporters
To believe in the
Misconception
Hoping to change
The results of
Election
So now triple P
Arrived in D.C.
To join the
Insurgency
So what he got
Was  a fatal shot
For kicking in
The doors
Of democracy
Illegally
