That Noble Lamp-Post
Edward.Fish ^ | 27-May-2016 | OneWingedShark

What swarms of officers eat out our substance,
    combining with others to subject us to foreign Jurisdiction;
Despising every limit within our Constitution?

They who wish to lord o’er their fellow Citizen
    who wish Liberty’s dissolution
Who wish to enslave us
    with debt, twenty-trillion.
Let them be killed with shout:
    “I AM AMERICAN!”
Ready for them that traitor’s noose
    lest you join their Treason & Conspiracy
And upon yourselves our rage loose,
    For daring to enslave Freemen’s Posterity.

Petitioned we at e’ery stage,
    from our oppression, Just redress;
yet our ‘standing’ they dismiss,
    increasing thus our rage…
Forgetting that when striking a sovereign,
    to ensure the Killing Blow,
and that every weapon is our birthright, you know.
    Thus Just retribution do they earn
from the patriot, American Citizen!

Then they will claim Law’s protection,
    they who betrayed us most,
And in reply we’ll say:
    “Ready that noble Lamp-post!”

The PDF at the site contains extensive footnotes showing the references both historical and current; I've omitted them here because (a) I trust FReepers to get them w/o explicitly citing them, and (b) so that the poem doesn't appear cluttered.

When people are out buying guns they should remember to pick up a good rope too.

Hm, that would be an interesting addition to last year's Black Friday:
“Citizens responded by buying enough firearms in one day to field an entire new military the size of the Marine Corps, with guns left over to equip 2-4 Army divisions,”
Makes you wonder what a day of record-shattering gun and rope sales would do.

Or perhaps.... la Guillotine!!! Paramount efficiency, whisper quiet. And thirsty, my friends, she is thirsty.
