The Law of Stand Your Ground

The Law of Stand Your Ground

A Poem by Easter3
"

A tongue-in-cheek celebration of the Stand Your Ground gun law.

"

There’s a Law in the Great State of Texas

 

Named - Stand Your Ground

 

It gives the Citizens of Texas

 

The Right to shoot anyone down

 

Who Feels like a threat

 

By heck and You bet !

 

It’s the Game of a Lifetime - Load your guns !

 

Let your cartridges spin !

 

Pull back the hammer

 

Squeeze the trigger - You win !

 

In the Great State of Texas

 

There’s no need to Fear

 

Why, shootin’ Human Bein’s

 

Is much more excitin’ than huntin’ deer

 

Someone walks onto your Property

 

To give you a hassle

 

Stand Your Ground - Shoot ‘em down

 

“Cause a Man’s Home is his Castle

 

Who needs the police ?

 

When trouble begins to bubble

 

With the Castle and Stand Your Ground Laws

 

The unRuly Rule of the Land

 

There’s a whole new meaning

 

To the dangerous Rumba of the Last Man Stand

 

Yeeeee-Haaaaa !  Viva Vigilantes !

 

So do your best

 

To bring back the good ‘ole days of the Wild and Wooly West

 

Conceal your guns proudly

 

Buy as many as you can afford and covertly hide

 

Get your enemies (real and imagined) in your sights

 

And Stand Your Ground

 

With foolhardy rootin’-tootin’, quick trigger shootin’ pride !
