Bringing Metaphors to Gunfights

You tell me I can't bring a metaphor to a gunfight

But my mouth does more than bite

I put the light into literature

Fight dicks with diction

Eclipse stones and sticks with fiction

Because I have an addiction to alliteration

A fixation on characterization

And I'll con you with my connotation 

Bring a catastrophe with my anastrophe

And damn I'm slam your hands with an anagram

Because I can't stand to use my fists

If you get me pissed I'll resist with a poetic list

And I'll twist our times into rhythm and rhymes

Remind you of your crimes and convict

Because I know my words can't prevent a punch to the face

But after the event they are my might and mace

They can't erase but they can misplace your power

Because I haven't faced defeat

Until I've drawn up an epilogue and conceit

My voice lasts longer than an attack

It derails your vile realism

Impales your narcissism

With a euphemism and a denotation

You might have mastered degradation

But I'm in a flirtation with verbal castration 

I've found salvation in narration

Dedication leads to a reformation of an altercation

And in publication I'm not a loser but an incarnation

Of using devastation as inspiration

Each poem is an amplification of my strength

Regardless of form or length 

This has a fist of irony

So go ahead, diss and be rude

I've got satire and mood

You'll get creamed in an stream of unconsciousness 

With each stanza and verse

I've slapped you with my poetic purse

And I don't need to rehearse being cold and terse

Adversity is life having diversity

This is the anniversary of the pain that will make you need some 

Oxy, moron

Because you're just synthetic

And I might stand silent but the only thing pathetic about me is my fallacies

I can take up any beef with biting motif

Any nemesis can face the gem that is my antithesis

Of what they think is right

Because tonight I'm bringing more than metaphors

To a gunfight.
