Get The Sign

by Domenico Sottile   Aug 23, 2016


From the Latin word milit
meaning soldier you see
derived the term militia for you and me

As any American dictionary defines it
it is a military force
an army of citizen eligible by law
to serve and protect us all

And the Fathers of our new American States
with protecting us from authoritarian rule
in their desires and...
a well regulated Militia, (and not a single person)
being necessary to the security of a free State
(deemed James Madison in seventeen eighty eight)
the right of the people to keep and bear Arms
( as a militia of course and not as individuals
and not as a vigilante license)
shall not be infringed

Hear me all on this
sublime
for Congress adapted it in seventeen eighty nine
and on December 15th seventeen ninety one
the very same Congress ratified this one

For any person to accessing weapons
at will was never in their mind
do not believe me
observe the facts and get the sign
