Cartoons
January 29, 2015
You may have shot me down from afar,
with the bullets from your pistol.
Yet I know that I left a larger scar,
with the tip of my pencil.
Your god is immortal you say,
and still you are fast to shoot,
for every scratch on his foot.
Regardless of what you preach,
you will never take away,
my Freedom of Speech.
© James H., Philadelphia, PA
