Guns Riddle

Hunter Aydelott 1960 (Tennessee)

Secrets stash under yesterday's safe
Bullets gracefully dance waiting

Gunning down
Gunning down
Gunning down

Gunning down
The paper flyer
Bullet deniers now my space
Paper flyer lay judged

Renegades space
Money slider printing gold
Laced in disgrace bought and sold

Winding slap in the face
Spinning fighter's hard bullets
Riddle unwitting faces
