The gun’s bullet is mighty –
but larger still is the
burden the people’s tears.
The gun’s barrel is wide –
but the people’s resolve is wider.
The gun’s muzzle is loud –
but the people’s fate is louder.
The gun’s sound is great –
but the people’s reply is greater.
The gun’s power seems vast –
Yet the people’s devotion is vaster.
The gun’s size is big –
Yet the people’s revolution is bigger.
