A Matter of Guns
can you tell me what I’m worth
after watching me compete
closely weighing the words that I’m saying
something of value you see
when I’m like any one else
can I be special to you
when I let go of myself
I wonder
what trouble I will get
what trouble I’ll get into
sing a long to the words
of my opinion of you
and my becoming aware of shortcomings
in my white cis male world views
it’s a matter of guns
sticking to one’s self
pointing at a place
someone really hates
and someone really cares about
