“Said the Shotgun to the Head” by Saul Williams

Last year – and a time before that – I posted “Ohm” during my National Poetry Month celebration. And there will come a day – probably – that I will again post the Saul Williams poem. Today, of course, is not the day.

This year I chose to include Saul Williams in my National Poetry Month celebration. Because, like Andrea Gibson, his words resonates loudly in the world I live.

For the tenth poem, I present to you “Said the Shotgun to the Head.” Please enjoy.
