Our country’s gun zealots (not all owners, just the zealots) are on some bullshit using the dated views of imperfect men to permanently disallow any common sense limits on guns without acknowledging and engaging that the Founders weren’t gods or paragons. They were smart dudes with attitude, sure, but they advocated, codified, and abided lot of antidemocratic shit and a lot of just straight up evil, to use a sensational term.
Addendum: I meant to say “they ain’t ever found a way,” not “find a way.” I just didn’t want to redo it because it was a really solid take. Grammar can eat my dick.

Most of my Brooklyn life has kept me on the R Train as a commuter and it is a pretty ill scene with respect to the homeless population, unfortunately many of whom are mentally ill. There’s one dude who has a voice like an earthquake and speaks like he’s doing Shakespeare in the park but he wears bags on his feet and a rope-hung cardboard placard over his chest. He gives these beautiful pleas for help and nobody helps because, perhaps rightfully so, it’s presumptuous and naive to think a couple of bucks will give him any sort of headway toward repairing his life. He’s the reason I wrote this stanza, along with a few other folks.
I know EXACTLY who you are talking about on the R in this line. Very cool – That and the Always Sunny references make this for me. Great stuff Soul.
