the lawbook or the gun

john alan douglas


ol ‘Liberty Valance’ would have
cottoned to yuh newt,
yuh sure do remind one of him
yuh like muscle guns and prayer

but there be no john waynes
(‘that steak is mine’)
to kick in your cronies
heads

no woody strodes to back ‘im up
woody died so recently a
brave and good man
ignored by the media

and jimmy stewart’s pilgrim is
long long gone into whimsicality
and reruns of ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’
and the master John Ford is dead

so you and the spirit of ‘ol ‘Liberty
Valance’ now rule the Republican Land
with guns muscle prayers - instead
of law books.

for the late Woody Strode
